Podcast #81
Karen and Anne discuss the latest Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Protocol on Hyperlactation, followed by the most recent research on maternal corona virus infections during pregnancy and lactation.
Join us to learn how to evaluate and treat oversupply (hyperlactation). What are the behavioral option for treatment, and when is medical treatment indicated? Does the corona virus transmit into breastmilk? Listen and you shall learn!
Recorded in February 2020.
I would have liked more information, or a separate pod cast. We are in crisis with women afraid to go to the hospital because they are planning universal testing and separation of mothers and babies. Newborn 100% breastfeeding babies are at very low risk due to the high level of antibodies in the early human milk. Despite the data (while limited,) that direct transmission does not happen from the breastmilk, the separation will cause more breastfeeding issues. Funny how the milk is what everyone is focused on, not the breastfeeding! What are women’s rights in this situation?
Really informative podcast . Thank you . My experience during covid period is that I have helped disproportionately more women with hyperlactatìon. I would agree there has been a background of anxiety around having enough milk. I also agree with the hakka! as a cause of over supply.
Very helpful. Thank you for these podcasts!!
