Description: Send us a textWelcome to our first breastfeeding-only Q&A with Trisha & Cynthia. Trisha is a Certified Nurse-Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with thousands of hours of clinical experience. Today's episode follows the format of our regular monthly Q&A episodes, where women call in with questions and we wrap up with Quickies at the end, but this time it's your breastfeeding questions only. Today Trisha answers questions such as: Can I introduce a pacifier to my exclusively breastfed baby at two and a half weeks?Is it a nursing strike or weaning: Help! My eleven-month-old is refusing my breast. What is the best way to manage pumping for my exclusively breastfed baby when I am away?How and when do I introduce a bottle to my exclusively breastfed baby so that I can leave him/her with a caregiver?What are your thoughts on using the medication Domperidone with a diagnosis of Insufficient Glandular Tissue (IGT)?In our round of Quickies, we touch on leaking, supplements for increasing supply, prenatal hand expression of colostrum, alcohol and breastmilk, breast refusal, lip blisters, breast fullness and milk supply, and flat nipples.Please remember, that every mother and baby dyad is unique, and breastfeeding issues require an individualized care plan.
