Hello and welcome to episode 5 of the breastfeeding podcast series! In this breastfeeding series so far we have covered the 5 things to help you establish a successful breastfeeding relationship, the magical breast crawl and how to help initiate this after birth, the power of antenatal expressing and why storing colostrum can be a super immunity booster for your baby, how to manage mastitis, nipple damage and milk supply issues after birth and so much more. Wowsa…. we have covered a lot!

Like with any pregnancy, birth or motherhood related topic, every person and their dog will tell you stories about breastfeeding. Now not all of them (in fact a lot of them) will simply not be true. It may be that persons individual experience, or it may be an old wives tale. Either way, Amberley busts through all of these myths today with evidence based research so that you know fact from fiction. In today’s episode we cover whether you should prepare your nipples with a nail file or sand paper or not, whether formula will help your baby sleep through the night, the truth about breastfeeding after 6 months, whether lentils and cabbage will make your child gassy, whether boob size indicates supply and so much more! Enjoy!
