Ep. 8: Breastfeeding after a caesarean section

In this episode of the podcast I am delighted to be joined by Sara, whose breastfeeding story features in the boobingit book 'Breastfeeding for Beginners'. Sara opens up and tells us what it was like giving birth to her little girl Layla and her experience of breastfeeding after a casesarean section. She takes us through the immediate aftermath and the days, weeks, and months that followed. Sara's journey to motherhood was not an easy one. She had multiple miscarriages before getting pregnant with Layla, and she had to have a lot of help and intervention to help her carry Layla to term. As soon as Layla was born safe and sound, Sara knew she wanted to breastfeed straight-away. During those early days and weeks, the support of her partner was invaluable, especially since she was recovering from surgery and depended on him to do a lot for her and the baby, as well as all the housework!
