82 – What to expect in the first 6 weeks of breastfeeding (mini episode)

To celebrate World Breastfeeding Week we are bringing you a 4 part mini series covering off the top questions we receive about breastfeeding. So why not start at the beginning with what you can expect in the first 6 weeks of breastfeeding an infant.

For those who are tuning in for the first time, a little about us…

In this podcast we discuss

  • The changes you can expect in your milk
  • What is cluster feeding and whether it is normal
  • What is normal and what is not in terms of sensations
  • When and where to go for help
  • Changes that occur in bub’s digestive system and their poos
  • … and so much more!
