I am excited to have Shelly Patularu (Twin Mom Guide) on today’s episode. It’s not the first time I have talked about breastfeeding on the show, but it is the first time I have had a board-certified lactation consultant on and not only that, she is also a mom to a set of twins and a singleton.
In this conversation, we get into the common questions new moms have about breastfeeding and how to support their breastfeeding journey even before the baby comes. We also discuss how to get the proper latch, balancing over and undersupply and so many other important topics around breastfeeding. Shelly shares her personal experiences as a mom of three, tips for maintaining a balanced life, and other must-haves for twin moms!
Enjoy this empowering episode with Shelly!
