The first 48 hours after giving birth can feel like a blur—you’re tired, emotional, and suddenly responsible for a tiny human. And if you’re planning to breastfeed, you might be wondering:
- Am I doing this right?
- Is this supposed to hurt?
- Why won’t my baby latch?
In this episode, I’m joined by the lovely Nicola Batkin—a midwife, nurse, and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant. Together, we unpack the practical things you can do right after birth to get breastfeeding off to the best possible start. Whether this is your first baby or you’re doing it all again, this conversation is filled with helpful, reassuring advice.
