In this episode, I continue sharing my personal pregnancy journey.

I’m joined once again by the wonderful Amy Paulinich, midwife and founder of Natural Birth Co. Together, we dive into managing physical discomforts, preparing for birth, and building a strong support network during pregnancy.

In this week's episode I am joined by the beautiful Sarah from The Milky Days. Sarah is an experienced midwife and lactation consultant with over 14 years experience. She is a Sunshine Coast local, a mama of two little kids and one of her passions is supporting mothers to have a positive and fulfilling breastfeeding experience. Sarah offers in person consultations for breastfeeding support and has an app with short educational courses for Pregnant & Postpartum mamas. 

Here's what we covered in this episode:

1. Breastfeeding Basics and Must-Have Products: Sarah shares her wisdom on the essentials of breastfeeding and separates the helpful products from the ones you can do without. Sarah mentions Silverettes and Qiara Probiotics
2. Antenatal Expressing: Many mothers have questions about antenatal expressing, and Sarah delves into the topic to demystify the process. She shares tips and insights that can be beneficial for pregnant mums wondering where to start.
3. Common Issues and How to Address Them: No breastfeeding journey is without its challenges. Sarah discusses the common issues that mothers may face and offers practical solutions and guidance to help overcome them.
