-
- Parenting
Vanessa, Kim and their daughter Alina are Australian family who were living in Switzerland when their daughter was born. Vanessa’s background is as a researcher in the breastfeeding field. Her work has been pertinent to all of us in the lactation world and changed our way of thinking about how babies suck during breastfeeding in particular. It is a pleasure that Vanessa and her husband Kim share with me their breastfeeding story.
In this episode it is really lovely to hear from the perspective of mum and dad as we delve into the thoughts, feeling and emotions of the first week challenges of breast refusal, needing to express to build supply in the first month, the value of help every day from the midwife and lactation consultant, the hormonal changes and emotional weight of those early days as well as the joys and challenges as breastfeeding progresses and moves in to toddler feeding.
