Go With the Flow

A breast surgeon’s straightforward, scientific breastfeeding advice for your baby—the only evidence-based guide new parents need to navigate challenges with low milk supply, mastitis, and more.

Breastfeeding advice is everywhere—and much of it is confusing, contradictory, and based on outdated ideas. The result? Endless rules, rabbit holes, and exhausted parents feeling like they’re failing.

Dr. Katrina Mitchell believes we deserve better.

Go With the Flow brings to lactation a much-needed understanding of how the breasts actually work, and replaces myths with clear medical facts. Dr. Mitchell outlines practical, evidence-based guidance parents can trust, explaining the science behind questions she’s asked every day:
-How to improve low supply—avoiding unnecessary pumping and stress
-Why mastitis doesn’t require antibiotics if treated correctly
-What really causes nipple pain (spoiler: it’s not what you think)
-Myths behind “pump and dump”
-Why triple feeding is the road to rage quitting—and what to do instead

With compassion, clarity, and common sense, Go With the Flow helps parents shift the focus from breastfeeding “success” to breastfeeding sanity—prioritizing postpartum mental health above all else.
