The Australian Breastfeeding Podcast

In this episdeo I teach you about what 'catching your letdown' means, the pros and cons, and whats products you may like to use.

In this episode I unpack the reasons why some babies feed more frequently than others.

In this new 10 part series Susie will choose 10 frequently asked questions from her listeners, every week for the next 10 weeks!

The question submitted was 

"Hi Susie. With my last two babies I have always got to 4 months and then felt that I did not have enough milk. I don't know whether this was true or whether it was a perceived low milk supply. it is normal to feel this way? I am pregnant with my third baby and don't want to feel like this again!'

To celebrate international women's day I decided to dedicate the next few episodes to my lovely followers. For them to record their breastfeeding journeys without me butting in and asking questions!!!

This is Rebecca. Rebecca lets us in on her breastfeeding journey - from difficulty attaching to the breast, to nipple shields, to attaching without. Through severe sleep deprivation, the mother and baby unit, until now where she is continuing to breastfeed her little boy, following his lead and doing what sets her soul on fire.

Its a beautiful listen. 

In this episode Susie interviews paediatric dietician Dr Kyla (@dr_kyla) on starting solids. Kyla delves into how breast or bottle feeding looks once we start solids and the transition from full milk feeds to learning about solids in that first year. Kyla also lets us in on her top tips for being ready to tackle solids and the equipment you do (and don't!) need.

In the early days with a new baby we are often tearing our hair out with what us normal and what is not!!! Why is my baby crying all the time? Are they in pain, hungry, sick, allergic to something... the list goes on. The googling becomes very frequent and we really just need to hear from someone experienced and formally educated in this field!!!

Deb Levy is a paediatrician. She lives in Sydney but is currently in Canada. She is also a mum of two little girls - she just GETS BABIES!!!

Deb goes through the reasons baby may be unsettled. We chat feeding, reflux, silent reflux, colic, intolerances and more!

You can find Deb over on instagram @drdeblevy

In this episode Susie discusses how to manage those distracted babies from about 4 months or so, who are on and off the breast, refusing breastfeeds and distracted with their surroundings when breastfeeding.

These steps are bound to improve the situation!
