This week Kim and Steph hold down the fort and just have a good old fashioned chin wag!
Have you ever found your client struggling with the decision to continue feeding baby from their body? What did you do? How did you advice them on this decision. Did you try to talk them out of it or did you support their decision to stop?
Have your clients given you negative feed about your support? Was it constructive or did you feel attacked and get angry?
This week, Stephanie, Suzanne and Kim discuss why even if the feedback is negative it can still be a learning experience and why open discussion and clarity are key in our work as doulas and childbirth educators.
