Ana is a 34 year old mama of two. Originally from Portugal, currently living in Austria with her German husband and their 2 kids: a fierce 4 year old girl and a 6 month old baby boy.
Ana breastfed her eldest for 2.5 years, something she didn't expect to do when she was pregnant.
Ana works in marketing in the tech industry but is using her maternity leave to focus on her baby and launching her new business as a postpartum doula in Vienna for expats families.

In this episode we discuss: 

• Sore nipples at the beginning but quickly got into a great breastfeeding rhythm
• Breastfeeding when they get teeth
• Things Ana was afraid of during her pregnancy which she thought might come up whilst breastfeeding.
• Being told that breastfeeding is bad for dental hygiene
• Weaning her daughter at 2 and a half
• We get to experience a feed live during the podcast! 
• Ana tells me how different both her babies were with breastfeeding 
• We discuss the benefits of bed sharing for breastfeeding and maternal sleep
• How Ana dealt with inflammatory mastitis
• And Ana shares with me how she and her partner navigated how he could bond with their children whilst they were breastfeeding.
