Episode 20 The Basics of Low Milk Supply with Lo
Giving birth can bring about many anxieties, but one of the biggest worries a mother faces is if there will be a sufficient amount of breastmilk for your baby. This fear is totally understandable. It is an important part of your baby’s development and there is also a lot of misinformation around it. In fact, there is a medical term for this, ‘insufficient milk supply perception’.
