The Boob Business Podcast by Milk Diva
This is an unscripted show where we unveil and demystify some of the confusing parts of birth, breastfeeding, and infant care during the first year of life while having a little fun. I'm your host, Naiomi S. Catron, published Author, Registered Nurse, and IBCLC..!
Our mission here is simple: to foster collaboration in maternal-child health and empower both families and businesses alike. We're all about creating a community where everyone feels supported and informed.
In each episode, we dive deep into engaging discussions that span the entire spectrum of birth through the first year. From newborn feeding, because let's face it, we've all got questions about that, to tackling issues like tongue ties, the mysteries of pacifiers, mental health, bodywork – and oh, so much more!
