The things they don’t teach you about breastfeeding in the hospital

Breastfeeding is not always as straightforward as some may say. And part of this is managing expectations on what to expect at the hospital in terms of breastfeeding education. On this episode I welcome Kelly Kendall, a nurse, IBCLC, a founder of the @balancedboob to discuss structural limitations of breastfeeding education in hospitals. We discuss:

  • Why we can’t rely on learning everything we need to know about breastfeeding in a hospital
  • Top tips for setting yourself up for success in early days of breastfeeding in the hospital
  • How to best prepare if you want to breastfeed your newborn
