If your baby refuses pumped breastmilk no matter how many tricks, tips, or bottles you’ve tried, you might be producing excessive amounts of one specific enzyme! You’ve probably never heard of this possible cause of your bottle-feeding problems, but you don’t want to miss this episode.
Heads up--this interview has reversed roles! Rachel Curtis, my very own doula and lactation consultant with my third baby, interviewed me for her YouTube channel. She provides research-based birthing and breastfeeding evidence on her YouTube channel, where you can find the original interview.
