S4, Ep 5 - Preparing To Breastfeed And Improving Your Chances Of Success With Midwife Dr Robyn Thompson, Founder of The Thompson Method The She Births® Show Podcast

Listen in as Dr Robyn Thompson of The Thompson Method and Nadine Richardson of She Births discuss The 3 Golden Hours and The Importance of Breastfeeding Preparation. How 92% of women want to breastfeed and initiate feeding after birth, yet 80% will give formula in week one and only 14% are still exclusively breastfeeding at 6 months. And the number one reason why mums say they discontinue feeding is PAIN. Listen out for: the importance of personalised 1 on 1 breastfeeding and latching expert support, the one thing you must never allow others to do with your newborn, the importance of HOW we hold our babies (especially their little heads) and the numerous ways systems fail families with feeding and birth and what you can do to avoid them. Our friends at TheThompson Method have also been incredibly generous and provided a 40% discount off their program to all our listeners. Code: SHEBIRTHS
