Tips From A Naturopath: Managing Breastfeeding Postpartum

In today's podcast, I tell you about the struggles of nursing during postpartum. Breastfeeding can be challenging, even though it should be second nature. I shared how I managed a difficult start to my breastfeeding journey. I discuss how I handle tongue ties with my son and ways I would do postpartum differently in terms of breastfeeding. I give some breastfeeding tips, whether finding the right breastfeeding positions or having compassion for yourself.  

As always, I tell you who you should contact, even if you are at your wit's end. The main point is if you want to breastfeed, you can breastfeed. Period. But also, you should give yourself grace and know you can still connect with your child even if you do not choose to nurse.

You got this, mama! Nursing is not easy. Postpartum is difficult, but I am here as you go through each step in this beautiful journey.
