Affiliate Marketing Disclaimers
I have a few disclaimers for this site, Breezy Breastfeeding. As an Amazon Affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases. This doesn’t cost you extra. The thoughts are all my own. At some point, I may have links that utilize other businesses where I make a commission.
This is all theoretical since no affiliate marketing has made me any money, yet. Hopefully, some day it will. In the meantime, I will continue bringing you terrific, true, and joyful education related to feeding your newborn and loving your motherhood.
Not a Substitute for Medical Advice
My hope is that this site educates and inspires you! Hundreds of hours of breastfeeding education and thousands of hours working with moms and babies have formed my breastfeeding knowledge base. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and I have sat for and passed the IBCLC exam twice. I have also written and taught many breastfeeding classes to parents, nurses, nutritionists, and med students. So, I am qualified to write this education.
That said, written education is not a substitute for medical advice. I can’t hear the tiny little details in your voice that would signal to me what might be going on. I can’t ask you questions. And I don’t expect you to navigate breastfeeding questions and challenges on your own with this information. This website should be very helpful for you. However, it is not a replacement for connecting with a lactation consultant and other health care practitioners. Throughout your breastfeeding journey, do not hesitate to call a local lactation consultant so they can see baby’s latch and hear from you what is going on.
Keep in mind, though, some medical advice can be pretty bad. It’s okay to get a second opinion.
At the large, teaching hospital I worked at for 15 years, the few hours I spent with the med students and residents was often the only education they received about breastfeeding. These are physicians going into the field of obstetrics and pediatrics! So, keep in mind that your baby’s doctor may have received very little education about newborn feeding. Their on the job training may have passed down education that is sub-bar or slanted by formula advertising.
When you have breastfeeding questions, always call someone who specializes in infant feeding. Even then, it’s okay to get a second opinion if their advice doesn’t sound great or it doesn’t work for your family.
