About The Boob Group: Judgment-Free Breastfeeding Support
The Boob Group is a long-running breastfeeding support show built around honest parent conversations and lactation-informed guidance. It treats feeding a baby as a daily practice, not a slogan. Episodes often begin with a clear question: how to trust a baby's cues, how to find a breastfeeding support network, how toddler nursing changes, or what happens when a parent cannot breastfeed despite wanting to. From there, the show settles into group discussion. The result is practical and personal. Parents talk about pumping in cars, trying to protect supply during work hours, reading a baby's crying and pulling away, and managing the emotional math of how much milk went in and how much came out. The show also looks beyond technique. Community is a recurring theme, especially the way a group of breastfeeding parents can make choices like nursing past one year feel ordinary rather than strange. Race and access appear as real barriers within lactation care, including stereotypes, limited resources, and the value of specialists who can relate to a parent's experience. Toddler episodes bring a different energy, with teeth, words, distraction, biting, and negotiation replacing the newborn feeding rhythm. Other episodes cover breastfeeding photos, milk sharing, nipple shields, pumping, formula supplementation, and breastfeeding after a C-section. The show can be playful, but its center is serious support. It respects breastfeeding goals without pretending every body, baby, workplace, or medical situation will cooperate. That balance gives it its usefulness: parents hear practical advice, but also hear other parents naming the same doubts out loud.
Made for: The show is for new and expecting parents who want breastfeeding support without shame, especially those navigating supply concerns, pumping, toddler nursing, social pressure, or mixed feeding choices.
What sets it apart: The Boob Group blends lactation-informed discussion with roundtable stories from parents, making the advice feel grounded in ordinary feeding days rather than abstract ideals.
In their own words
We support parents who are passionate about providing breast milk to their babies. Each week, a group of experienced moms openly discuss their success, their struggles and society’s impact on how they feed their babies. The show helps guide listeners by providing an honest, natural and judgment-free approach to breastfeeding, pumping, milk sharing and more.
Why you'd press play
The pump clock meets the biting toddler, with room for your frustration and second thoughts.

- practical reassurance when supply, pumping, or biting turns feeding into a full-contact logistics problem
