077: In Part 2 of this conversation with Lizzy Gibbs—after Episode 76—we continue into the questions and conversations so many women are quietly carrying around feeding, the body, and what changes after birth. We move through the practical and the deeply personal, from navigating breastfeeding and bottles to partner involvement, body-based support, and the more tender, taboo edges of breasts, sexuality, and arousal in motherhood. We also touch on Vaginal Alchemy and breast massage, and open up important conversations around allergies, cancer, and breast surgery in a way that feels honest, nuanced, and deeply human.Feeling the Pulse onListener question: thoughts on PT and OT support if your baby has a weak tongue and was born earlyListener question: how to navigate going back to work, using bottles, and still maintaining breastfeeding when you’re homeFollow-up: what to consider if your baby seems to be having allergic reactionsListener question: ways to incorporate partners into feeding when using breastmilk in bottlesVaginal Alchemy and breast massageThoughts on adults drinking breastmilkTaboo conversation: is drinking breastmilk hot?
