Today we’re joined by Clare from The Womb Rooms, a qualified midwife and lactation consultant, for a deeply practical and supportive conversation around breastfeeding and early postpartum.
In this episode, we cover how to set yourself up before birth so feeding feels less overwhelming when baby arrives, and why having the right support around you can make all the difference to your breastfeeding journey.
We also dive into the big questions many mums have, including whether colostrum harvesting is worth it, how to position your baby for a comfortable and effective latch, and the small but powerful things that can support both you and your baby in those early days.
Importantly, we also touch on maternal mental health and how to care for yourself during a time that can feel both beautiful and incredibly demanding.
This is a practical, reassuring episode filled with tips you can actually implement, whether you are preparing for birth or already navigating those early postpartum days.
If breastfeeding is on your mind, this is one to save, share, and come back to.
