Sarah joins us to share her breastfeeding experience, one that she hasn’t loved at times.  Her son Eddie is just over a year old, and Sarah explains that there were highs but also a lot of ‘neutrals’ and lows.

After a challenging birth, and Eddie being taken to NICU due to inhaling meconium, Eddie ended up having a 9 day stay in NICU so Sarah had to learn to breastfeed on site.   

There is a lot covered in this episode - initial tube feeding, using donor milk, the ‘test’ Sarah and Eddie had to pass before leave NICU, nipple shields, feeding with big breasts, the loving support from her husband and lots more.

Thanks for sharing your experience Sarah.  It is really important to acknowledge that not everyone has a magical breastfeeding experience.
