Out and About With Your Baby is an episode about exactly that: Breastfeeding in Public. This is another episode prompted by Amy Brown (I’m noticing a theme here) recommending that I speak to her research colleague Aimee Grant, with whom I had a lovely conversation. I honestly didn’t think I had much to learn about this, as a breastfeeding mother for over three years and a breastfeeding counsellor for over a decade. Of course I was wrong.
Aimee’s books and research can all be found here: https://www.swansea.ac.uk/staff/human-and-health-sciences/interprofessional-health-studies/grant-a/
I also spoke to two local mothers who shared their experiences of breastfeeding in public – Claire and Lauren were generous with their time and their stories.
The Second Shift
The Second Shift is a podcast that seeks, ambitiously, to explore lots of different life experiences, find out the facts, and understand new perspectives. From matrescence to menopause, I'll be talking to expert speakers and people with lived experience, because stories are such a great way to understand the world. I hope you'll find something interesting in this slightly eclectic collection of conversations!
