55m | Nov 2, 2026This week, Anna sits down with Andrea Haskins, lactation counselor, breastfeeding advocate, and mother of two, to challenge some of the most common breastfeeding advice women receive in the hospital after giving birth.
From misconceptions about milk supply and colostrum to feeding schedules, supplementation, latch issues, and how often newborns actually need to nurse, they break down the recommendations that may unintentionally undermine a mother's breastfeeding journey before it even begins. Andrea shares what every new mother should know about breastfeeding, which hospital protocols deserve pushback, and how women can feel more confident advocating for themselves and their babies during those first few days postpartum that set up the foundation for breastfeeding long-term.
