Episode #7 | World Breastfeeding Week
In celebration of World Breastfeeding Week this week, Liv and Shani sit down together to share their breastfeeding journey's, discuss this years theme: Enabling Breastfeeding - making a difference for working parents, and how they both feel about 'fed is best'.
Liv shares beautiful insight into how finishing breastfeeding earlier than she expected left her feeling and we know this is something so many women experience so we feel honoured to share this with you.
We want to take a moment to honour all women during this week as we know that it comes with mixed emotions for so many. There are so many reasons women that so longed to breastfeed can't, why breastfeeding journeys get cut short and for some they were never able to have the opportunity to try to breastfeed. We see you.
During this chat Liv and Shani mention the importance of being around other women and mothers who are breastfeeding to support you on your journey. The video that is mentioned can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4CgL4Q4T4I
