In honor of World Breastfeeding Week (8/1-8/7 2025), we’re bringing you a special bonus episode with Natalie Swart, BS, IBCLC, CLE, LCP — a lactation expert with over 15 years of experience helping families feel confident and empowered on their feeding journeys.

Whether you're breastfeeding at the breast, pumping, combo-feeding, or using donor milk, Natalie’s message is clear: you are doing a great job — and there’s no one "right" way to feed your baby.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why breastfeeding success looks different for everyone


• The power of human milk in all its forms


• Supporting families through toddlerhood and beyond


• How to handle pressure to wean early


• Redefining success in a way that feels good to YOU

This conversation is full of encouragement, real talk, and gentle reminders that your story matters.
