KTLC Episode 98 Private Practice in AU with Kellie Eason

Historically, having a baby was not a solitary endeavor. The partner was involved of course, but the parent's family, friends and whole community would come together to support not just the gestating parent but the whole family during this transition.  As a midwife and IBCLC in Australia, Kellie Eason sees the consequences of lack of support for families.  In this episode Katie Oshita and Kellie Eason discuss strategies of supporting families and finding ways to decrease isolation for parents.
