To kick off this first episode in the Breastfeeding 101 series we are discussing breastfeeding basics… the foundational knowledge you’ll need to navigate this breastfeeding journey well.

Amberley Harris, an endorsed midwife and my go-to breastfeeding guru, talks us through:

• 5 things you need to know to encourage a strong and confident breastfeeding relationship
• The supply and demand concept when it comes to lactation and milk-making
• The importance of the breast not just as a food source but also for comfort and connection
• The importance of baby led attachment.

Amberley will also provide us with a video demonstration of baby led attachment and what to look for with the mouth and nipple position in a bonus video episode, which is now live inside the Pregnancy Posse membership.

In later episodes in this podcast series we will be covering the breast crawl, breastfeeding after a C-section, mastitis, nipple damage, milk supply issues, antenatal expressing, pumping and Amberley’s favourite pump recommendation and busting through a wholeeeee bunch of breastfeeding myths… trust me there are some funny ones in there!
