M.Other Milk: Recent Episodes
M.Other Milk
M.Other Milk is a platform for M.Others to share their feeding story – be it about breastfeeding, formula feeding, pumping, or any means taken to nurture your baby. And, since every feeding story is unique, just like birth, there is empowerment in sharing a story, and there is strength in reading a story that resonates with you.

Arielle bravely shares her infant feeding journey as well as her experience with Post Partum Depression with M.Other Milk. One study found that women who struggle with breastfeeding over the first few weeks after giving birth have a 42% higher risk of developing PPD. This is a huge percentage and should NOT be overlooked.
The intense and overwhelming emotions that come up when M.Others struggle to feed their newborn are real and can have devastating impact. One of the things that struck me most about my conversation with Arielle was the heartbreaking realization that unfortunately, that first feeding can be a traumatic and negative experience for M.Others.
It is vital to encourage M.Others and ensure they are supported - their mental health and well being has to come first!
