Description

In this powerful episode of the Blueberry Pediatrics Podcast, Dr. Lyndsey Garbi is joined by pediatricians Dr. Jessica Madden (IBCLC-certified neonatologist), Dr. Mia Armstrong, and Dr. Kristen Borchetta to talk honestly about the challenges and realities of breastfeeding. From painful latching and milk supply struggles to the emotional toll of postpartum life, this roundtable is a must-listen for new parents and support systems alike.


The doctors offer candid stories from their own experiences as mothers, address common myths around nipple confusion, and share actionable advice on preparing to breastfeed, choosing a pump, managing mental health, and storing milk. Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, formula feeding—or doing all three—this episode is about giving yourself grace, finding the right support, and doing what’s best for you and your baby.
