In this episode, Nina shared her challenging breastfeeding journey with their first child who had breathing issues, experiencing painful sucking for months before their nursing relationship improved. Nina emphasized the importance of perseverance and not feeling like a failure. Nina recommended seeking lactation support early and learning that every child and journey is different. Bethany related her experience with her son's tongue-tied journey requiring myotherapy and supported mothers' choices in duration and method. Mama’s can reach out to Bethany for 1:1 lactation help.
