We're back! Isis and I delve into all things Big Latch On 2025, which is in it's 20th year this year! Coming up on the 4th to 6th of April.

We go all the way back to the origin story of how a NZ attempt at the Guinness World Records grew into an annual global celebration of all breastfeeding journeys. Isis gives us pro-tips on how to host an event - spoiler alert: it's super easy!

Then we go deep into how good support can heal the hard feelings that can surface for those whose breastfeeding journeys haven't gone according to plan, which is such a common experience in the world we live in. And how those mamas 100% deserve to be celebrated too.

We welcome Dr Beth Shore to our podcast! Dr Beth and I discuss our thoughts on a recent news article about the trauma mothers experience when they struggle to produce milk and breastfeed. We reflect on the lack of breastfeeding medicine education in medical training. We get angry at the ridiculous lack of support and care from our health care system for mums struggling to feed their babies.

This was an off the cuff recording directly into the podcasting app, hence no intro and outro - I could not figure out how to download the clip for editing! ><

Actually turned out ok now that I've had a chance to go back and listen to it so I have decided to share it anyway. Hope it resonates.
