Are you feeling overwhelmed about managing holiday gatherings with your breastfeeding baby? Fear not, we're here to help! In this solo episode of Spilling the Milk, Emily addresses the challenges of balancing family traditions with the demands of a young, breastfeeding baby during the festive season. She shares tips on key topics such as alcohol consumption while breastfeeding, sticking to your baby's schedule, and handling unexpected events. Remember, it's okay to prioritize your little one's needs (and yours!) during these gatherings. Tune in for advice on managing expectations and navigating potential conflicts.

Having a new baby during the holidays doesn't mean you have to forgo the fun. In fact, it's the perfect time to start new traditions! Setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and striking a balance between spending time with loved ones and tending to your baby are all important considerations.
