6. The Truth About Breastfeeding

the-truth-about-breastfeeding.png

My guest in this episode is the hugely experienced Lactation Consultant Caroline Bolton. I really wanted to chat with her about dispelling some of the myths about feeding babies, as much information we are passed down is simply out of date (or was never even true in the first place!). And caring for and feeding a baby is hard enough, without misinformation.

I was also delighted that many of the questions for this podcast episode came from my lovely For Modern Mothers community on mothers-to-be and mothers, after a call on my Facebook group. It's so great to be able share knowledge and information that you all want to know.

Enjoy the episode, and as ever get in touch with any questions or feedback too
