5. ‘Make Yourself A Throne!’ Pregnancy Prep For Successful Breastfeeding with Infant Feeding Specialist Cathy Bowker
Description
On this week’s show I spoke to Cathy Bowker, an Infant Feeding Specialist Midwife, to get you knowledge and tips on pregnancy preparation for successful breastfeeding From the ‘3 Keeps’ to Building Yourself a Throne.
I know many plus size pregnant women worry that breastfeeding will be more difficult for them, and Cathy is full of calm reassurance and practical advice.
Me & Cathy go right back to our midwifery training days - over 20 years - and she’s a very dear friend of mine! So I know she is passionate and an expert on this topic. This episode is definitely for you if you are planning to breastfeed your baby.
Cathy provided some recommendations on her favourite resources too:
