The Fourth Trimester

Today’s episode is a wide ranging discussion about all the things you can expect from the fourth trimester, those first few months with your new baby. 

I’m joined by Lucy Webber IBCLC, a former midwife who went into private practice following the birth of her third child. Her new book, Breastfeeding and the Fourth Trimester, is out now. Lucy shares her wealth of experience and knowledge on hunger cues, recovering from a difficult birth, the early days of breastfeeding, pain and faltering growth, and towards the end of the episode, we bust some breastfeeding myths.

You can find out more about Lucy at www.lmjinfantfeedingsupport.com

My new book, ‘Supporting the Transition from Breastfeeding: a Guide to Weaning for Professionals, Supporters and Parents’, is out now.
