In today's episode my guest shares some of the things she learned from her first birth

she talks about 

*managing some of the physical struggles of pregnancy, including restless leg syndrome

*all the things she encountered and learned on her breastfeeding journey

We also hear from the fabulous lactation consultant, Katie Howser who has lots of useful information for anyone who is feeling the challenge of breastfeeding.  She has so many great insights that you can put to use immediately, so I'm excited to share what she has to say. I should note that the recording quality of some of our conversation is a bit wonky, but we are going to play through because there is so much value in what she has to share.

To find information about Restless Leg syndrome, you can find papers, here, here, here, and here.
