In this episode I chat all about my two early postpartum experiences with my babies and open up about how both my different journeys were for me. I talk about my breastfeeding challenges including insufficient glandular tissue (IGT), low milk supply, triple feeding, pumping, feeding with a supply line, bottle feeding and mixed feeding.
