A Child is Born | SEGMENT 1 | #147

No feeling in the world compares to that of being a new mother. The joy, the exhilaration, and of course…the fear. Am I holding them right? Are they hungry? What do I do?! A huge source of stress for new mothers comes from breastfeeding. Here to share her less than ideal experience, as well as some tips on how to cope, is Dr. Deena Blanchard from Premier Pediatrics. Hopefully her story will help you feel a little less alone.

Managing Expectations | SEGMENT 2 | #147

It can be so easy for new mothers to feel like failures. We often think we’re supposed to know everything instinctively, but that’s not the case! Dr. Deena Blanchard from Premier Pediatrics talks with Bettina about managing expectations and keeping your thoughts positive.

Shouldn’t This Be Easy? | SEGMENT 3 | #147

Going into motherhood, did you know that one of the most challenging experiences you can have is breastfeeding? It’s supposed to be natural and simple, or so we think. It turns out that for many women, this isn’t the case. Listen to Dr. Deena’s story for more.

One Last Thing | SEGMENT 4 | #147

Dr. Deena Blanchard leaves us with some parting words of wisdom, including re-framing your negative language to stop self-shaming, exploring all of your options, and always being open to advice.

Finding Calm | SEGMENT 5 | #147
