In today’s episode, we are joined by Kishanda Vyboh, MSc and seasoned breastfeeding support parent. We discuss ALL things beautiful and challenging about breastfeeding. We speak about the pressure parents are put under to feed their babies whether it should be by breast milk or formula. This is a judgment-free zone!

5:16 - What is a breastfeeding support parent?

7:27 - Is there other programs like Nourri-Source out there?

8:30 - What is the best way to feed your child and why breastfeeding education is necessary

12:30 - Do you have to follow all the rules that the pre-natal classes give you?

14:56 - Why did Kishanda make her own FREE pre-natal workshop and who can access it?

17:30 - Why are there mood changes during the breast-feeding weaning period

21:42 - Why does the World Health Organization suggest breastfeeding exclusively until 6 months, and then continuing until 2 years? Why is Canada not meeting these milestones?

25:49 - Should I breastfeed my baby every time they cry?

28:03 - If I continue breastfeeding past 2 years, will I ruin my child?

30:04 - What should I do if I don’t want my tongue-tied child to have surgery?

33:40 - What are some common misconceptions Kishanda has seen throughout her years volunteering?
