Episode 9: Clogged Ducts, Mastitis, and Low Milk Supply: Common things I see during the holidays and how to avoid them

Nicole McCarthy, CLC, CBS Episode 9

During the holidays I see an influx of clogged ducts, mastitis, and low milk supply for several reasons. Listen to episode 9 to find out what these reasons are and how to avoid them!

NOTE: I commonly talk about "breast health" and "milk health" in this episode. What I am referring to is the milk microbiome.  Your breast and milk isn't "unhealthy" per say, but the microbiome can be disrupted.

Check out Aloha Nutrition's post on clogged ducts for more creative ways to prevent them!
