#01 Let's Talk Breastfeeding

Explicit content warning

08/16/23 • 38 min

No one really talks about breastfeeding, but if they did would that make things easier for parents? Is our reluctance to talk about the realities of nursing our babies actually HARMING our chances of meeting our breastfeeding goals? And should we be clued up on cluster feeding BEFORE our babies are even born? In this first episode of The Next Feed we kick things off with mums Kate and Faye. They stopped breastfeeding a few years ago, but they tell us how much they remember about cracked nipples and expressing breastmilk around the clock.
