Description

Expecting moms and anyone still finding their breastfeeding groove—this one’s for you. Featuring Seema Kazi Rangnekar, Founder of Sama Birthing & Beyond (Mumbai), Childbirth Educator, Lactation Educator, and Prenatal & Postnatal Nutrition & Fitness Educator with 14+ years of experience.

In this episode, Seema breaks down breastfeeding essentials: what matters in the first feed, how to know if baby’s getting enough, what a good feed actually looks like, when and how to introduce a bottle (without creating bottle preference), plus pumping basics and realistic output. We also run through rapid-fire myths so you can stop second-guessing and start feeding with confidence.
