#6: The Ups and Downs of Breastfeeding
Manage episode 153085519 series 1080774
It’s often the first thing we do for our babies when they emerge from our bodies: put them to our breasts and hope they know what to do. Sometimes it is that easy. And sometimes it’s not. Feeding your child is the most basic and fundamental way of caring for your baby. It speaks to issues like nutrition, bonding, and infant development—so it’s no wonder people get touchy, and pushy, about it. But breastfeeding also has to do with comfort, practicality, and, sometimes, doing the impossible.
Scarlett and Brandilyn walk us through their experiences—one that was a living hell, while the other was just like heaven.
