Relational Resource

Welcome to even more information! Only this info is all about relationship and connection.

I love research and information! Just pour it on, a deluge of facts, recommendations, and best practices is so easy for me to absorb as a sleep deprived, touched out, leaking parent. Reading studies and listening to lectures never makes my eyes glaze over as I zone out awake dreaming getting to consume my coffee or hot tea when it is actually… hot.

Sorry, what were we talking about?

Right, even more info.

Some of the information on The Leaky Boob is straight forward, direct, and to the point. Find what you’re looking for, get what you need, do what you need to do.

That is not this portion of our site.

Here, in the Relational Resource, it is all about knowing you’re not alone. There is information and education but the format is more like hanging out with your sisters or friends and getting the low down on what you need to know. Laid back, chill, and relational, the Relational Resource is all about the connection and real life experiences. Information contextualized for real life by real people.

There are many incredible resources out there that are full of well-researched, evidence based information, this resource is not intended to replace any of those. What The Leaky Boob Relational Resource is intended to be is a collection of articles sharing information in the relational manner that is part of TLB culture. Still well-researched, evidence based information, the Relational Resource is a conversation and dialogue with personal connection that is a hallmark of The Leaky Boob. My vision is that the Relational Resource would be a place to find information for experts that was accurate and supportive, easy to understand, presented in lay-person terminology, and like talking with a good friend.

The Relational Resource is an ongoing work in progress. Featuring materials from the personal voices of doctors, IBCLCs, CLCs, various field experts, and parents. This resource is not intended to be medical advice or medical counsel and readers are greatly encouraged to take personal responsibility for their health and the health of their child by seeking out qualified health care and to fully research all their options independently.

It is my hope that these materials will encourage and support those seeking information along their breastfeeding journey. Please let us know if there are other topics or specifics within a topic you’d like to see covered in the comments section. Thank you and I hope you find this helpful!

Wishing you all the best in your baby feeding journey!
