Episode 15: One Mama, Two Different Breastfeeding Experiences with Emily Mayfield

Oct 16, 2019

In this episode, my friend Emily talks about her two very different experiences with breastfeeding. She opens up about the beautiful part every mom anticipates, but also how breastfeeding was hard when she realized she was struggle with D-MER (Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex). Some key points brought up in the episode:

• Emily shares the different experiences she had between her first and second child with breastfeeding
• What D-MER is, how to recognize it, and to not be afraid to ask for help
• Why having a support system is important when you are post baby and your hormones are all over the place.

Emily is originally from Plano, Texas. She and her husband moved to Redlands, California in 2011. They have an 8 year old girl, Claire, an almost five year old boy, Max, and another girl due in January 2020! Emily graduated from California Baptist University with a BA in English, and she is currently a stay at home mom.
