Welcome to another episode of Bitesized, where we explore the intricacies of breastfeeding and nutrition! 

In this episode, introduce the remarkable work of lactation consultants—unsung heroes who offer support ranging from latch issues to being a source of encouragement for new mothers.

Moving into the nutritional realm, we touch on the natural changes in breast size and milk supply during the first 6 weeks postpartum, emphasizing the body's adaptive response to supply and demand.

Explore non-nutritional strategies to enhance milk supply, from full breast access to your baby and the benefits of skin-to-skin contact to the potentially controversial topic of co-sleeping. We'll also share insights into effective pumping techniques, including the role of hospital-grade pumps.

Dive into the world of lactogenic foods and herbs, with a list that spans almonds to watercress. For a more detailed guide, check out our website for a free downloadable resource.

Discover the power of breastfeeding superfoods known not only for boosting milk supply but also enhancing nutrient density.

And, of course, we can't forget the importance of hydration in postpartum.
