BREASTFEEDING SURVIVAL GUIDE! With Lactation Consultant Olivia Hinge
1Description
Breastfeeding can be such a struggle for so many women, and one that often comes out of the blue! We often spend so much time focusing on and preparing for the pregnancy and birth that we overlook breastfeeding. But fear not, Midwife Em and Lactation Consultant, Olivia Hinge, have you covered!
Just SOME of what they touch on includes:
· Common breastfeeding struggles.
· Antenatal expressing.
· Feeding with large breasts.
· Mixed bottle and breast feeding.
· Inverted nipples.
· Nipple shields.
· Mastitis.
· Paced bottle feeding.
They also talk about what mothers and babies are designed to do biologically and the fact that women really need to take the pressure off themselves!
