r/Breastfeeding

It’s super encouraging to know mothers can get online peer support within moments of their pleas. And since breastfeeding families have multi-layered needs (marital, nutritional, etc.), real-life wisdom can be life-changing.


So... if you are a lactation pro with a heart to help, I encourage you to log onto Reddit. I’m sure there are pages of wombmen who would appreciate your support.


My only advice is to be cautious of secondary trauma. It occurs when you (the helper) are traumatized by the other person’s suffering. If you want to talk to someone about it, I’m always here. While there are many online communities to support breastfeeding wombmen, I'd love to know which one you prefer? What is the biggest issue that comes up? And what breastfeeding problems are you better at handling?

Until next time...
