Investing in books, classes, registry items and baby showers is often seen as a way to best prepare for pregnancy and birth. But when it comes to nursing, people don't always plan ahead despite the fact that breastfeeding can last anywhere from one to two years — much longer than pregnancy or birth. Fortunately, Natalie Johnson is here with us today to share her knowledge of nursing and to provide mothers with the guidance they need for a successful breastfeeding experience, which actually starts before birth.
Natalie is back joining us again for her second episode on the podcast! She is a past labor and delivery nurse, a current lactation consultant here in Southern California, and she always brings enthusiasm, passion, and her amazing expertise to the table when she educates. Today, you'll learn things you likely didn't know that could make a huge difference in your success with nursing. You might be surprised to know that having too much IV fluids during labor has a negative impact on a sucessful start, and why putting your baby on a regular feeding schedule is actually a "big no-no" while nursing. Then there are other aspects you may not have considered — like finding clothing that is accommodating for nursing throughtout the years and stages ahead.
Listening to Natalie will leave you feeling inspired and confident in your ability to nurse successfully. With her help, you'll be equipped with greater knowledge than the average mother!
