Who or what has supported you the most during this time?
The midwives at the hospital were incredibly supportive and a wealth of wisdom for us in those early days. We received lots of support through the hospital lactation consultants as well. From my understanding it is an area
that is underfunded and under researched , like so many women’s health
issues.
In your experience, what do mums need during postpartum / recovery / breastfeeding?
Nourishing food, a calm environment, words of encouragement, rest wherever you can get it.
What would you want other breastfeeding mothers to know — especially those who might be struggling or feeling alone?
That You’re not alone. No one is perfect, no one’s breastfeeding journey is perfect. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace.
Your thoughts on Mumma Milla’s leakproof bras — how have they supported your day-to-day breastfeeding experience?
I love how seamlessly they fit into my existing wardrobe, there’s something a bit extra about them whilst still being practical and functional, I didn’t know it was possible to still feel sexy and cool in a maternity bra!
