Ep. 49: Understanding breastfeeding grief with Lucy Ruddle IBCLC

In this episode we speak with Lucy Ruddle IBCLC about breastfeeding grief, and what that can look like for different people.

As a Lactation Consultant, speaker and author, Lucy has helped thousands of families breastfeed successfully. In this episode Lucy talks to us about what breastfeeding grief is, and how Professor Amy Brown helped open up the conversation about this difficult and complex subject matter. Lucy openly discusses her own personal experience with breastfeeding grief and how it made her a more compassionate breastfeeding supporter.

During the conversation we explore the idea of generational breastfeeding grief and how it can impact families and idea systems around breastfeeding. Lucy finishes by telling us when her new book 'Understanding Breastfeeding Grief' will be published.
