Ep 28: Fighting to breastfeed, with Steph and Clay

Breastfeeding never came easy for me. I feel like I was constantly fighting an uphill battle, wading through misinformation from midwives, stress, and overwhelm. On today’s episode of the podcast I’m joined by my lovely husband Clay, as we remember back to three years ago when our breastfeeding journey began. It’s not all sunshine and roses I’m sorry to say. Some of the issues we faced includes our son losing more than 10% of his body weight, nipple damage, quick feeds that didn’t meet the expectations of the hospital, and pressure to introduce formula top ups. But we did get through it and now we are about to hit three years of breastfeeding. If you’ve enjoyed this episode and others, you can say thank you by buying me a coffee!
