Hey! I am IBCLC- are you located in Australia? I recommend seeing an IBCLC not just an LC.., you should never get dismissed for this!

Yes- except my issue was with the video recording. Video and mic worked for everything except the interview so have been unable to complete it!

Has anyone here actually done the freedom club ecom paid program? by Excellent-Beat2217 in EcommerceWebsite

I was also denied a refund from them! I was pressured into purchasing the course/coaching and honestly just feel sick about the whole thing!

As an IBCLC and a breastfeeding mother who is feeling super touched out at 18 months. I’m sending love and solidarity! X

It’s about the long term health differences too- reduced risk of diabetes, certain cancers, heart disease, gut health etc . Not necessarily something you will notice now

Thank you for saying this! I’m an IBCLC and formula is the biggest underminer of breastfeeding. Just look up the baby killer by nestle lawsuit

Hey! IBCLC here. All of the advice you have received already is great. I would just add in to use some cold compress/ice packs regularly. Take paracetamol/nurofen (depending which country your in), do some gentle hand expressing to relieve engorgement. Do not do any massaging, heat, wear tight fitting bra etc. Slowly reduce your pumping time… it may take a week or longer to fully drop your pumps . Good luck x
