013 - Overproduction, Nipple-Crackage, CoSleeping BreastSleeping and The Long Haul Breastfeeding Journey With Lynan Saperstein
Today, I was really honored to interview the incredible Lynan Saperstein. Not only is she a new, older mom (she gave birth at 39. and she's breastfeeding at 40), but she is a soulful, heart-driven entrepreneur with a passion for energetic clearing. She offers group energy programs as well as private sessions. You can check her out at ElementalSphere.com.
Lynan's milk came in very fast. She described it as terrifying. She thought she had mastitis. Ultimately, she learned she was an overproducer, which was quite messy, actually.
Additionally, she shares the traumatizing experience she had with a breast pump during labor, so it took a long while to try pumping after the baby was born.
She also tells the story of her cracked nipple and how Lanolin nipple cream and Silverettes helped.
Her daughter is 11 months old and she is still almost exclusively breastfeeding on demand. Lynan shares how she is preparing for a long haul breastfeeding journey.
We also learn about her experience co-sleeping, night feeding, the first 40 days ritual, why we should give Dad's breastmilk and so much more.
