Bu podcast hakkında
Welcome to The Feeding Couch podcast; a place where the real, uncensored, breastfeeding and postpartum stories are told. I am a midwife and Lactation Consultant and over the decades working with families I’ve seen a variety of feeding journeys and I can tell you that not one of them is the same. In our worId of perfect portrayal of postpartum on social media its time to shine a light on what's really going on in those first weeks, months and years when we set out to feed our babies.
