PMDD and breastfeeding with Lucy Webber IBCLC
Manage episode 509168386 series 3494257
The brilliant Lucy Webber IBCLC returns to talk to me today, and this time about a subject that is personal to her - PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Lucy shares her personal experiences with PMDD, the importance of recognizing its symptoms, and the need for proper support. We talk about the challenges families face with the impact of returning menstrual cycles on lactation, especially when coupled with the severe symptoms of PMDD. We also explore the intersection of PMDD with perimenopause, and how to approach getting help from your GP.
My new picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie’s Milkies, is available from Amazon here - The Story of Jessie's Milkies. In the UK, you can also buy it from The Children’s Bookshop in Muswell Hill, London. Other book shops and libraries can source a copy from Ingram Spark publishing.
You can also get 10% off my books on supporting breastfeeding beyond six months and supporting the transition from breastfeeding at the Jessica Kingsley press website, that's uk.jkp.com using the code MMPE10 at checkout.
