This week on The Fit Dads Podcast, we’re tackling one of the most important, and often misunderstood, parts of early parenthood: breastfeeding, and how partners can truly make a difference.
Our guest, Jess Avill, founder of Love to Latch, is a breastfeeding counsellor who’s helped hundreds of families navigate the messy, emotional, and amazing reality of feeding a newborn. She’s not here to preach, she’s here to give real-world facts, science, and straight-talking advice that empowers the entire family.
In this episode, Jess breaks down:
The real struggles new mums face (and the myths that make things harder)
Wild breastfeeding facts that’ll blow your mind
The science behind milk supply and "producing enough"
What dads can really do to support without feeling useless on the sidelines
Practical, no-fluff advice for parents who want to get feeding right from day one
This episode isn’t about guilt or perfection, it’s about empowerment, knowledge, and teamwork.
If you’re a new mum, new dad, mum or dad-to-be, or simply someone who wants to understand what your partner’s body is doing behind the scenes, this one’s a must-listen.
Because being a Fit Dad isn’t just about your own health, it’s about showing up, learning, and backing your family 100%.
