Having personally struggled with establishing feeding with her first child, Olivia’s journey inspired her to qualify as a lactation consultant in 2019. Since then, she has been on a mission to empower parents with evidence-based knowledge and judgment-free guidance, ensuring that every family can make informed decisions about how they feed their baby in a way that feels right for them.
In today’s conversation, we’ll delve into :
The physiology of breastfeeding, including baby positioning and latch.
The truth about common tools like pumps, the Hakka, and silver caps.
Managing oversupply, supporting low milk supply, and building confidence.
Calling in the “cheerleaders” and creating a safe environment for mothers to thrive.
Practical tips for navigating painful nipple and healing wounds
Debunk myths about whether babies need winding.
Whether you’re expecting, new to parenting, or supporting someone in your life on this journey, Olivia’s wisdom is here to inspire and uplift. January's Mother's Circle FREE Recording l Women's Circle
