In this episode, we are joined by Katie James, an experienced midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with over 20 years of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and lactation.

We talk about what breastfeeding is really like in the early days, especially for first time mums. From wondering if there is enough milk, to dealing with pain, cracked nipples, or a baby struggling to latch, Katie reassures us on what is normal and when to seek support. We also touch on things like pumping early on, nipple shields, and what to do when feeding doesn’t go as planned.

We get into some of the common advice mums hear, like being careful about what you eat while breastfeeding, and whether certain foods actually make a difference. There is also an honest conversation about feeding in public, returning to work, and finding what works for you without feeling judged.

A really open and down to earth conversation for anyone expecting a baby or already navigating life with one.
