The Boobing Podcast
The Boobing Podcast - From breastfeeding disaster to exclusively boobing it. The Boobing Podcast is your zero-filter account of breastfeeding woes, triumphs, and more. I am your host, Melissa Wait, a mum who has been there and overcome just about every obstacle thrown at me while breastfeeding, I went onto breastfeed for almost two years. Every episode welcomes an expert to explain the medical and emotional nitty gritty of why things go wrong and what we can do about it. 88% of Australian mums face challenges breastfeeding – that is a crazy stat! The Boobing Podcast wants to normalise talking about and working through breastfeeding issues. If 88% of us are having trouble, we need real help, guidance, and sometimes a hug, laugh, or a shoulder to cry on!
