- Self-Improvement
Hello and welcome to another episode of our sister circle season. If this is your first time joining us – welcome and if you are a regular listener – welcome back 😊
In this episode we are joined by two wonderful guests; Michelle Elliott who honestly shares her struggle to breastfeed and Elaine Kindred-Spalding, Midwife and lactation specialist for our conversation on breastfeeding. We are going to be talking about the highs and lows and everything in between when it comes to this weeks miraculous thing that women's bodies can do.
There’s a reason why it’s called “liquid gold” – breast milk is truly amazing in what it can do for your baby
Breast milk provides the ideal nutrition for infants. It has a nearly perfect mix of vitamins, protein, and fat -- everything your baby needs to grow. Breast milk contains antibodies that help your baby fight off viruses and bacteria. What's more, the physical closeness, skin-to-skin touching, and eye contact all help your baby bond with you and feel secure.
But it is not always a simple or successful journey for every woman.
Content warning: Please be mindful that we do talk about the psychological trauma of inability to breastfeed so some may of this may be triggering and upsetting for listeners personally impacted by this issue.
We want to hear from you!! Share your stories and join the conversation.
