In this week’s episode I speak to Dee, mum to Will. Dee’s husband is a doctor and she shares what happened when he was almost not allowed into the delivery room because of a COVID outbreak. She also shares how she sometimes struggles doing it alone because of her husband’s demanding job. Dee speaks very candidly about her breastfeeding experience and how it didn’t go to plan. She talks about the pressures mums feel to breastfeed and the great lengths she went to to make it work.

“There’s a lot of encouragement in the media for people to breastfeed, which is fantastic but that’s not always the best option for someone, and I think there needs to be more discussion and dialogue about the fact that sometimes these positive messages about breastfeeding make people feel like the other options aren’t suitable and you’re not doing as much for your family as you would be if you were breastfeeding,” Dee says.

After much heartbreak, Dee has found a solution that works for her and she shares this in this episode.  Listen now on all podcast platforms.
