In this episode Kelsey shares her story about feeding her daughter Billie. On one hand this is a really positive breastfeeding story and on the other hand an extremely challenging solids feeding journey.
Breastfeeding has been relatively natural for Kelsey and Billie, a great latch, healthy supply (perhaps too healthy!) and a really strong and positive feeding bond from early on. It wasn’t all rainbows - there have been some challenges (Billie was retrieved to NICU the day after they were discharged from hospital, so Kelsey essentially learnt to breastfeed while Billie was in NICU), but overall Kelsey draws on the positives.
When it came to solids, Kelsey and her husband Chris were shocked to find that Billie has anaphylaxis reactions to a number of foods. It is really eye opening hearing Kelsey talk about this - how they found out, what this has meant for mealtimes in their family, and how it has impacted other aspects of their life.
If you're keen to skip straight to the solids journey head to the middle of the episode around 31 minutes in.
