Pandemic Pregnancy, Nursing Tips, And Being A Working Mom

Aleen is back this week with her sister-in-law & colleague,
Shira Dreksler, to chat about being a working mother of two and her
own nursing experience. To start, Shira tells us about being
pregnant during the height of the pandemic (including how she had
to go to the hospital by herself), what it’s really like having
your water break, and how parenting changes after having a second
child. Next, they dive into a discussion all about nursing, with
tips for when you’ll actually need a lactation consultant, whether
or not breastfeeding hurts (hint: it does), and why pumping is so
important if you choose to breastfeed. Finally, they close things
out with a conversation about sleep training and why your feeding
strategy is vital to the whole process. Learn more about your ad
