The final story for Season 1 is Rio’s story. Rio tells us about her pain free homebirth and unfortunately how her immediate postpartum was sabotaged by impatient midwives. Rio had a lot of fear and traumatic stories around breastfeeding so when it was a struggle to latch and breastfeed she needed support from an IBCLC and nipple shields. Her story is ultimately triumphant and an incredible example of how a mother’s perseverance and community support can transform breastfeeding struggle into breastfeeding ease.

We are always looking for women who want to share their breastfeeding stories. If you would like to share your story on the podcast please email us at [email protected] and we will send you our interview questionnaire.
