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…

• Luka McCabe - founder of Boob to Food, author of Milk to Meals, registered nurse and midwife, as well as mum of 3

• Kate Holm - naturopath, nutritionist, clinical director of Boob to Food and mum of 3

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!

Some other resources we mention or you might enjoy:

• Australian Breastfeeding Association helpline
