Hello and welcome to episode 5, our final episode, of the Breastfeeding 101 series!

In this breastfeeding series so far we have covered the 5 things to help you establish a successful breastfeeding relationship, the magical breast crawl and how to help initiate this after birth, the power of antenatal expressing and why storing colostrum can be a super immunity booster for your baby, how to manage mastitis, nipple damage and milk supply issues after birth and so much more. Wowsa…. we have covered a lot!

Now I know I said this was our final episode, but we do have a sneaky 6th episode but this is only available to Pregnancy Posse members. In this bonus episode we cover pumping milk, best pump brands as well as visual demonstration of antenatal hand expressing and correct baby latch onto the nipple. If you want to find out more about the Pregnancy Posse and trial it for 7 days just visit thepregnancyposse.com.

Like with any pregnancy, birth or motherhood related topic, every person and their dog will tell you stories about breastfeeding. Now not all of them (in fact a lot of them) will simply not be true. It may be that persons individual experience, or it may be an old wives tale. Either way, Amberley busts through all of these myths today with evidence based research so that you know fact from fiction.

As you should know by now, Amberley is an all round breastfeeding legend and has helped so many women on their breastfeeding journey’s through her private practice. In today’s episode we cover:

• Whether you should prepare your nipples with a nail file or sand paper before birth
• Whether formula will help your baby sleep through the night
• The truth about breastfeeding after 6 months
• Whether lentils and cabbage will make your child gassy
• Whether boob size indicates supply
• …and so much more!

This is our final episode in the breastfeeding series (aside from the bonus episode up now inside the Pregnancy Posse) so please sit back and enjoy! And don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast on your favourite podcast player so you don’t miss the launch of our next series!

Now sit back and listen to us have a laugh about how ridiculous some of these myths are!
