Navigating Breastfeeding Challenges: Low Supply, Over Supply & Mastitis ~ with IBCLC & Midwife Hannah Willsmore

Breastfeeding experiences for one Mumma can be completely different from another. It can also be an emotional roller coaster, especially when mixed with broken Mumma sleep.  There can be frustration, pain, exhaustion, overwhelm, heartbreak, but also an abundance of love & oxytoxin experienced throughout a mothers breastfeeding journey. Geez, some days you may experience all of the above! When it comes to nursing, like all areas of motherhood there are different techniques, challenges... and even more opinions.  Gaining support from a qualified International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is something I will always recommend, but I have to admit I also personally adore listening to the experience of other Mums. I take what resonates and go with my gut. Common breastfeeding challenges amongst Mums include supply issues (over and under) and many will experience some degree of mastitis. So when guidelines change, as they have recently with the way the Academy Of Breastfeeding view and treat mastitis, I like to explore the why behind it. Hence inviting one of my fav lactation consultants back for a chat- Hannah Willsmore. Hannah joins me for episode 98 of the Glowing Mumma Thriving Bubba podcast. .............................................................................................................
