This podcast is for anyone with an interest in feeding babies, whether they’re exclusively breastfeeding, chestfeeding, mixed feeding, expressing, still waiting for their baby to arrive, or thinking about stopping.
In this episode we look at how new mothers/parents can establish a good supply of milk for their babies, the role of hormones, and the importance of frequent, effective feeding.
We know that breastfeeding is not just a physiological process, and this comes up in our discussion of how mothers'/parents' confidence in breastfeeding is so often undermined in our culture.
If you're having difficulties or doubts, please do call the NCT Feeding Line to speak to us or our colleagues, on 0300 3300 700 option 1.
The Breastfeeding Show
The Breastfeeding Show is made by Frances Attenborough, Karen Hall and Megan Stephenson, who are all NCT-trained Breastfeeding Counsellors, with at least ten years’ each of experience helping parents both through antenatal sessions, and group and 1:1 postnatal support. This show is for anyone with an interest in feeding babies, whether they’re exclusively breastfeeding, chestfeeding, mixed feeding, expressing, still waiting for their baby to arrive, or thinking about stopping.
In our first series, we cover the basics of how to get started, establishing a milk supply, positioning and attachment, expressing, common challenges, and we bust a few myths. We hope our informal style keeps things interesting and useful, as we chat about our absolute favourite subject.
