CleanPodcast: Is it safe to take antidepressants while breastfeeding? | Approximately 15 to 25 percent of new mothers suffer from depression, anxiety, and related emotional difficulties in the postpartum period, and many mothers consider taking antidepressants while breastfeeding.* This raises many questions for moms: Is it safe to take an antidepressant during breastfeeding? How much of the medications transfer to your baby, and are there any long term effects of using them during breastfeeding? What are the effects of untreated maternal depression on babies? What are the consequences of weaning to take a medication? And what non-pharmacological methods of treating depression are effective? In this podcast interview with Dr. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, world-renowned expert on postpartum depression and breastfeeding, Tanya Lieberman, IBCLC posed these questions and more. Dr. Kendall-Tackett is the author of 22 books on maternal depression, family violence, and breastfeeding, including Depression in New Mothers, and Breastfeeding Made Simple. She shared her wealth of knowledge about this topic in practical, breastfeeding-friendly terms. Dr. Kendall Tackett shares more information about this topic on her website.

Isa Herrera wishes that wishes that all mothers had great care after their c-sections.

CleanPodcast: Biological Nurturing and Laid Back Breastfeeding, with Suzanne Colson | We're very pleased to share this podcast interview with Dr. Suzanne Colson, pioneering researcher known for her work developing the concept of Biological Nurturing. She is the author of An Introduction to Biological Nurturing and the DVD Biological Nurturing: Laid-Back Breastfeeding for Mothers. Suzanne talked with Tanya Lieberman about the concept of Biological Nurturing, the primitive neonatal reflexes she has identified, why babies sometimes fight or "box" the breast when feeding in traditionally-taught breastfeeding holds, and why she believes babies are "front feeders" and not "dorsal feeders." One note: This interview was recorded in the busy hallway at a breastfeeding conference, and as a result the audio is not up to our usual standard. We hope you enjoy it anyway!
