Breastfeeding Shaming: The Mom Shaming That No One Talks About

In this episode of the Discerning Parenting Podcast, we talk about the mom shaming that no one talks about. There's a lot of talk about mom-shaming on the internet. Someone will post something on Instagram, whether it's about screen time or feeding, or any topic actually. And there will be comments calling out that person saying that's mom shaming.<br/><br/>Now, I don't know what the world's coming to that it feels like moms now get shamed for almost everything. They're shamed for staying home. For going to work, for working from home. They're shamed for giving screen time, for restricting screen time. They're shamed for feeding only healthy food, for feeding "junk food".<br/><br/>There's one type of mom-shaming that happens just as often as the other types of mom-shaming. But I'm baffled about why no one talks about it. So, if you're breastfeeding, or planning to breastfeed, or you are supporting a breastfeeding mom, listen to this. <br/><br/>Don't you want to take the guesswork out of parenting your new baby?
