In this episode, Lindsay discusses why nursing and lactation often fail in modern society. She explains that the high rate of complications in birth and low nursing rates can be attributed to the disruption of the natural mammalian biology of birth.
Lindsay emphasizes the importance of immediate bonding and imprinting between Mother and baby after birth, and how this process is often disrupted in hospital settings. She highlights the permanent negative impact of separating Mothers and babies, and the need for a supportive and non-disruptive birthing environment to ensure successful nursing and milk supply.
Key Takeaways:
1. Nursing and lactation often fail due to the disruption of the natural mammalian biology of birth.
2. Separating mothers and babies after birth disrupts the bonding and imprinting process, leading to low milk supply and difficulties with latching.
3. Hospital settings and routine procedures in obstetrics contribute to the disruption of the natural birthing process.
4. Mothers should advocate for a non-disruptive birthing environment and immediate bonding with their babies to ensure successful nursing and milk supply.
