In this episode I interview Bec Abraham.  Bec runs the instagram account @belliesandbeyond  She is a mum of 4 little girls and lives in Bondi. We discuss what the fourth trimester is REALLY like. With special emphasis on how to manage that newborn time when you also have older children to tend to.  Bec honestly lets us in on her daily internal struggle of breastfeeding and what she is doing that is working for her. Bec wondered if she would breastfeed this time around but here she is taking it day by day and looking at the journey holistically.  We both discuss what we would have done DIFFERENTLY in those early days with our first children....
