Podcast: Breastfeeding
In this episode of Kids Health Cast, Elizabeth Odom, M.D. discusses what expecting and new parents should know about breastfeeding. She highlights overall health benefits of breastfeeding to both newborns and mothers, including the production of colostrum, the first form of breastmilk that is created after giving birth. She goes over the comparisons to formula and considerations that parents should know. She provides helpful tips for latching, understanding signs for hunger and how the family can get involved in the process outside of just feeding.
Every parent wants what’s best for their children — but in the age of the internet, it can be difficult to navigate what is actually fact-based or pure speculation.
Cut through the noise with Kids Health Cast, featuring Weill Cornell Medicine’s expert physicians and researchers discussing a wide range of health topics, providing information on the latest medical science. Finally, a podcast to help you make informed choices for your family’s health and wellness.
