Lactation for the rest of us - induced lactation and supporting queer and trans parents with Jacob Engelsman

This week I’m delighted to be joined by American IBCLC Jacob Engelsman, whose new book, ‘Lactation for the Rest of Us’, is out now. 

Jacob and I talk about inducing lactation, for birthing parents and non-birthing parents, the drugs and supplements that are used to aid milk supply in different parts of the world, the mental health aspects of breastfeeding for queer, non-binary and trans people, and alternative ways to feed your baby.

This episode is intended for members of the LGBTQ community, anyone interested in induced lactation and listeners who want to be better allies and supporters.
