In this week's episode, we talk about our journey with breastfeeding. Peta breastfed both our children and was really proud of her ability to see it through.

The school of thought in modern times is "fed is best". Yes, absolutely, there is truth to that, especially when there are understandable reasons, such as milk not coming in or other medical rationale, but if you are willing, capable and determined, there is no substitute for breast milk.

In the episode, we explore what our initial ideas about breastfeeding were and the uncertainty that comes with it, before exploring the differences between Alberto & Rosina's journeys and how breastfeeding changes over time.

Overall, breastfeeding is hard, absolute props for the mothers out there that give it a go and even if you are able to do it for a few weeks to a month, it's a special thing to be able to do for your kids.

Everyone's parenting journey is different and no one deserves to be judged for decisions they make. Parenting is hard enough as it is without the world judging you for your decisions!
