077. Why Breastfeeding Is Different The Second Time Around

In this solo episode, I celebrate my son’s first birthday and share an important personal milestone – our breastfeeding anniversary. I reflect on my experiences breastfeeding my two children, highlighting the challenges and differences I encountered. I discuss the struggles I faced with inadequate support during my first son's breastfeeding journey and the successful strategies I employed the second time around. 

I also offer four key components that helped me exclusively breastfeed my second one and provide valuable tips for new and expecting mamis. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of trusting your body, seeking professional support, and leaning on your support system. 

Tune in to hear my insightful advice, relatable stories, and to feel empowered in your breastfeeding journey!
