When Your Pediatrician Gets It Wrong: Breastfeeding Advice You Shouldn’t Follow
May 02, 2025 · 13 min

Think your pediatrician knows everything about breastfeeding? Think again.

In this episode of The Latch Lounge, I’m breaking down the most common (and shockingly outdated) pieces of breastfeeding advice moms hear from their pediatricians—and why following it can actually sabotage your feeding journey.

We’ll talk about:

Why your baby nursing “all the time” doesn’t mean you don’t have enough milkWhat to do before supplementing with formulaWhy breastfeeding pain is common—but not normalWhat real solutions look like when you’re getting dismissive or confusing advice

You deserve expert support from someone who actually understands breastfeeding—not a one-size-fits-all opinion from someone who spent an hour on it in med school.

Book your one-on-one lactation consult today and get the clear, personalized support your pediatrician couldn’t offer.
