When you found out you were expecting and then shared you were planning to feed human milk from your own body to your baby, did people respond with both the positive stories and the horror stories? If you did have positive experiences, did you feel like you needed to keep this to yourself for fear someone else would feel judged?This week’s guest Heather Magill is a postpartum doula and knows all too well that breastfeeding does not always go according to plan. This episode includes:
- Heather’s experience giving birth and navigating the fourth trimester in South Korea
- Breastfeeding and postpartum in isolation
- The importance of in person support, both professional and peer support
- Heather’s journey to becoming a Postpartum doula
