Mastering supplemental nursing systems (SNS)
Anna and Amanda chat with a guest, Ashley, about her use of a supplemental nursing system (SNS) on her way to exclusive breastfeeding! This is an uplifting story of finding a redemptive breastfeeding experience with the second baby after struggling to breastfeed the first. They discuss breast surgery (2:15), preparing to breastfeed a second time (8:50), low milk supply (12:20), using an SNS (14:40), using herbs and medication to boost milk supply (21:00), the urge to stop breastfeeding (24:00), weaning off the SNS (29:20), the moment you know you've made it (32:00), reflecting on Ashley's journey (34:00), taking it one day at a time (35:45), choosing an SNS (39:00), the learning curve of an SNS (42:00), and the power of positive thought (44:40).
