Real Breastfeeding Questions Answered By A Lactation Consultant

New motherhood is full of fresh experiences and plenty of lessons to learn, starting the moment you find out you’re expecting until, well, it never really ends. From the early sleep deprived days to toddler tantrums and onward, you are constantly learning and growing right alongside your little one.

Breastfeeding is often one of the most challenging parts of this new adventure, and while there's no doubt there's a learning curve, it doesn’t have to be as scary as you think. We joined forces with Peanut, the motherhood app, and Quetzal Currie, NYC-based lactation consultant, to answer all of your burning breastfeeding questions.

From the basics of maintaining milk supply and buying breast pumps to answering questions from the Peanut community themselves (tandem nursing! toddler trials!), it’s all here. Get ready to say goodbye to those breastfeeding worries and hello to hands-free pumping, lactation cookies and more!
