14. The 5 Love Languages of Breastfeeding for Dads

Welcome back for Part 2 of our discussion with Dr. Laurie Jones (@DoctorDrMilk) about the 5 Love Languages of Breastfeeding for Dads.  We use the framework that I described in last week's episode to talk about dozens of practical ways dads can support their partners in successful breastfeeding.

We do cover some more sensitive topics when we get to the Physical Touch Love Language, so if you usually listen with young ears in the car, this may be one to save for later.

If you need additional support for you and your partner. I would love to help you. Please reach out to me at any of our social media links here.
