Just Us: Before, Birth, and Beyond
Welcome to Just Us: Before, Birth, and Beyond. We invite you to tune in for a podcast focused on perinatal and community health. In an effort to raise awareness and start a conversation about perinatal health, our hosts have joined forces with doulas, midwives, nurses, lactation consultants, physicians and more from across North Carolina to share best practices, lived experiences, and lessons learned. Just Us explores real topics and dives into what has happened, what is happening, and what can happen next in the sexual and reproductive health and wellness space. Our goal is to learn and grow together in order to take care of ourselves and each other so that we can all live our healthiest lives. Thank you for being here. Let’s get started!

Season 4, Episode 8: Breastfeeding in the Context of Substance Use Disorders
Breastfeeding can be an important part of a baby’s health and development. But what about families who are affected by substance use disorder? this episode, a partnership with Project CARA, Dr. Amy Marietta, MD, Family Medicine and Olivia Caron, Pharmacist Practitioner, and Georganna Cogburn IBCLC, will talk about how to support lactation and infant feeding in patients who use substances or are being treated for SUDs. Using the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine guidelines as a key resource, they will discuss the latest findings and what they mean in the real world of infant feeding. They will also dispel some of the common myths about SUDs and breastfeeding. This conversation will help you understand the risks and benefits of breastfeeding when working with families impacted by SUDs. They will also talk about a wide variety of resources available for further reference and education.
