Description
Infant feeding looks different for every family. Whether you’re exclusively breastfeeding, formula feeding, or somewhere in between, feeding your baby can come with challenges — and plenty of stigma. In this episode of So Glad You Asked, Allie sits down with three amazing moms who’ve tried it all: Susie, a stay-at-home mom; Kriti, a marketing executive and maternal mental health advocate; and Desiree Cameron, Birthing Abundantly Maternal Services, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Full Spectrum Doula. They share honest stories about what worked, what didn’t, and how we can support parents in making feeding choices without guilt or judgment. Whether you’re a new parent, navigating feeding challenges with multiple kids, or reflecting on decisions from years ago, you’ll find practical insights and actionable tips to help you feel confident in your feeding journey.
