74. Building A Supportive Care Team For ...

Nicole Scheitlin
About this episode

Your care team is crucial to being in the driver's seat of your pregnancy and postpartum journey and having the experience that you want. As a first time mom, I definitely felt like I was "swept in" to the healthcare mix and didn't think to get additional support with things like labor prep, breastfeeding, baby sleep, and more.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Carly Buxton — a Lactation Counselor, Postpartum Doula and the CEO/Co-Founder of Nessle, your parenting co-pilot. She shares important questions to ask your provider, what to consider as you build your care team, and how to identify what support you might benefit from most. I truly wish I had listened to this episode prior to my first baby and cannot wait for you to listen in!
