  • I have learned so much

    I find it so reassuring listening to this podcast. I am breastfeeding a 4 year-old, something that I did not plan for. Emma‘s insights and advice have emboldened me in my decision to continue breastfeeding. I would love an episode about breastfeeding older children, if you don‘t already have one!
