S1 04 | Milk

Let's talk about about nourishing our tiny tots! By breast or by bottle, feeding our babies can be one of the most difficult responsibilities we face as new mums — both physically and emotionally. Particularly when you throw in any extra hurdles like low milk supply, colic and reflux, or allergies and intolerances.

 

Breastfeeding is one of those things that, like childbirth, you can’t quite imagine until you find yourself actually doing it. And though it can be portrayed as something so natural and straightforward, it often takes a lot of time and a whole lot of practice (often in the wee hours of the morning) for you and baby to get into the swing of things.

 

And to all those bottle-feeding mums up late prepping formula dispensers so you're ready at all times, we tip our hats to you — we've been you, we see you, we feel you.

 

No matter your feeding journey, we hope this episode helps find the grace to let go of any mum-guilt and know your baby loves you!

 

If you need help with any feeding issues, you can contact your community health nurse, GP, or the Australian Breastfeeding Association on 1800 686 268.
