Melanie Silverman, Chief Clinical Officer at Pacify, joins us today to discuss her background and the ways her company meets the needs of breastfeeding families. While not a replacement for in-person care, Pacify offers parents 24/7 support for breastfeeding questions and help. While Pacify is not a replacement for in-person care or working with complex issues like tongue tie, it augments breastfeeding medicine with its accessibility to families across the US.
In this episode you'll hear:

• What Pacify does for new parents, all over the United States.
• Why Pacify sis o important to new parents--breastfeeding can be an amazing way that new parents can improve their own health and the health of their babies.
• The main issues we see among new parents — also address, that they feel alone (especially during COVID-19!) and are wondering whether they are doing this "breastfeeding thing" correctly!
• Breastfeeding can be an incredible equalizer. The vast majority of new parents struggle with the same questions about breastfeeding.
• Pacify hears from non-birthing partners, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins and others who call in for help.
• We really need to listen first, rather than come in with our own agenda and provide care without judgement.
• Diversity among IBCLCs — why it matters and ways that to address it
