The Next Feed: A Breastfeeding Podcast
Welcome to The Next Feed, the podcast for mums, mums to be, and anyone else who wants to provide breastmilk for their baby. I'm Manpreet Pinder and, after learning that that lots of us have a tough time breastfeeding our babies, I'm on a mission to bring you experts and share real breastfeeding stories so that you feel less alone as you navigate your own feeding journey.
We're all about celebrating breastfeeding without shying away from what it's really like! Cluster feeding, common breastfeeding myths, expressing milk, nursing a toddler, navigating a return to work - we talk about it all.
