Do you think of breastfeeding as a learned skill or a natural behavior? Is the way you answer this question different now than it was before you had children? On this episode of The Milk Making Minutes, Caitlin Kindred discusses how surprisingly steep the breastfeeding learning curve was for her, and how it did finally get easier.

On this episode you will hear about:

• How early childhood experiences can impact breastfeeding
• A discussion about the impact of conversations about breastfeeding with our parents can impact us
• Bad advice and body shaming given by a lactation professional
• Caitlin’s experiences with a nipple shield, and weaning from the nipple shield
• An experience of undiagnosed tongue tie and the impact that had on her son’s health
• An easy weaning!
