Breastfeeding + infant feeding can be challenging, no matter when you give birth. But what happens when you're breastfeeding during a pandemic? What if you test positive for COVID-19? What if you're self isolating and unable to access hands-on resources? What if you're newly postpartum and unable to safely go to the grocery store to buy formula, bottles, or nipple shields?

Certified lactation consultant and physiotherapist, Mercedes Eustergerling IBCLC, M.PT [ Vida Health & Wellness, Calgary ] and birth doula Lindsey Bowns CD(DONA) [ adora birth + wellness, Calgary ] recorded this live Q+A for you, referencing evidence-based information from the World Health Organizations, the CDC, and Alberta Health Services.

 

Recorded LIVE March 26, 2020.
