I’m thrilled to introduce Farida; a proud Muslim Oromo Australian woman, a mother of four, a midwife, and a nurse who has dedicated her life to nurturing and caring for others. Her passion for meaningful, thought-provoking conversations shines through in everything she does.
We’ll delve into her remarkable breastfeeding journey, which began at 19 and evolved alongside her career as a midwife, with each child bringing its own unique experiences. From the struggles of cracked nipples to the triumphs of toddler feeding, tandem nursing, and weaning, her story is one of perseverance and growth.
She opens up about navigating the challenges of low weight and developmental concerns with her fourth baby, culminating in the need for heart surgery.
In this conversation, Farida shares her insights on the courage it takes to advocate for yourself, the importance of finding support, and the power of offering yourself grace through life’s toughest moments.
