Midwife Sharon chats to women about their positive breastfeeding stories.

Kayleigh worked in a children's hospital for a time and supported lots of women with breastfeeding challenges so she prepared for her first breastfeeding journey by seeing a lactation consultant and talking to friends and family about the realities of breastfeeding. Kayleigh tells us how she was supported in colostrum harvesting by a student midwife, and how this really helped when her milk was slow to come in.

Maria also took an online course with a lactation consultant before her baby was born, and found the information invaluable. Maria also talks about going back to work, weaning her babies, and exceeding her breastfeeding goals.

Support from healthcare professionals, family and friends is discussed by all, and how continuity of support really makes a difference.

Join us next week for more positive breastfeeding stories!
