Episode 7: Cat (on feeding through nipple damage)


Listen Later

Cat joins us to share her experience feeding her 5 month old Georgiana.   Cat had a plentiful supply and Georgiana was quick to latch after birth.   Unfortunately, that latch was a pretty powerful one and Cat had significant nipple damage early on.  She explains how she used gritted teeth, māmā bear bravery and nipple shields to get through the pain.  Cat also takes us through how she weaned Georgiana off nipple shields at 3 months - a good listen for others who are looking for weaning ideas.

This is an overall positive breastfeeding journey - a tough start, with a happy outcome overall.   Cat, thanks for sharing your story, it was a pleasure!
