Gretchen is a busy working mom of three who was determined to breastfeed not only because she knew it was best for her kids, but also, as she put it, because she wanted the ease to be able to "move around with my breasts and a diaper in my back pocket. And a change of clothes in the other and call it a day." Gretchen also knew she ONLY wanted to breastfeed her kids for about a year, once teeth were in the picture she wasn't interested in continuing. This conversation is chock full of practical advice, but will also make you giggle. My good friend Gretchen is a delight, and I know you will walking away loving my friend as much as I do. If you want to get to know Gretchen better and feel she can help your family to improve at-home learning (i.e. reduce homework battles, understand what the teachers are asking your kids to do while IMPROVING your connection with your kids) check out her amazing organization Co-Teach and get to work with her (or another great Co-Teacher) personally.Head to Apple Podcasts or Spotify for more Milk Making Minutes episodes!Listen to Episode of The Milk Making Minutes on Amazon Music too!To book a lactation consultation with me, visit my website: www.quabbinbirthservices.com.
