Episode notes

In this episode, we share our own breastfeeding journeys—honest, personal, and deeply real. Sam reflects on an overall ease with breastfeeding, alongside challenges including tongue ties with both children, engorgement, and a fast let-down. Mia speaks to the hard work of feeding her first child, navigating repeated bouts of mastitis across her breastfeeding experiences, and the persistence it took to keep going. Together, we talk openly about the realities of breastfeeding, the effort often hidden behind it, and the importance of normalising breastfeeding in public. This conversation offers reassurance that there is no single “right” feeding story—only real ones, shaped by bodies, babies, and circumstances.
