Maayan describes herself as a first time mum who knew nothing about pregnancy or birth but after fighting to have a vaginal birth for her first baby who was breech for most of her pregnancy,  she has found the entire process to be life changing beyond imagination; not just literally & physically but spiritually, mentally, emotionally and socially. 

In this episode Maayan shares with me how her original thoughts on feeding were that breastfeeding was “yuk” and she thought the best option would be to express and bottle feed. When her little girl was born she immediately felt the pull to breastfeed her. Maayan tells of us of the challenges they faced as her little girl was born with a severe tongue tie. She shares how how long she had to wait to get it released and the mix of emotions which goes with making this decision. Maayan thanks her oversupply, fast let down and determination for getting her through, and never needing to give a bottle. They are still breastfeeding on demand at 15 months. And Maayann gives us insight into some of the highligts and bumps which they have navigated to get this far.
