Conversation on Breastfeeding with Emily Swisher-Rosa
About this episode
This episode features a conversation with Emily Swisher-Rosa about the importance of breastfeeding and its impact on infant health.
The month of March is also known as Women’s History Month. As we take this month to reflect on the advances women have made, what they have achieved, and all of the amazing things women can do, it’s fitting then that today’s episode will also focus on the power of a woman’s body. Specifically, Breastfeeding and all the wonderful ways it can impact an infant’s health. I’m joined today by Emily-Swisher Rose, the Co-director and Co-founder of the Breastfeeding Medicine Equity Center at Boston Medical Center. The Breastfeeding Medicine Equity Center, also known as BEC, has provided evidence-based outpatient and inpatient lactation support and breastfeeding medicine to all BMC patients. Founded in December 2021, the clinic cares for lactating patients and their infants with complex breastfeeding problems requiring medical management. Emily is a midwife, women’s health nurse practitioner, and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant. She’s passionate about working with women and families from all backgrounds and is especially interested in immigrant healthcare, Breastfeeding Medicine, and is deeply committed to bringing language and racial equity to the forefront of her work…
