Episode 35 Weaning from Breastmilk with our Lactation Expert Rowena Gray

The decision to stop breastfeeding can be an emotional one. For those who've shared those cherished moments of nursing, you know that it's a profound and intimate experience between a parent and child. But as the time comes to transition away from breastfeeding, it can bring about a mixture of emotions and questions.

Our Lactation Expert Rowena Gray is back in the podcast chair to talk to us all about how to wean from breastfeeding.

Rowena is a nurse, midwife, author and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant. She is passionate about supporting mothers to have a better breastfeeding experience and is perfectly placed to offer her expert guidance and support today.

We discuss:

• Some of the reasons a woman will stop breastfeeding

• What age the World Health Organisation recommends weaning
• How to wean if/when you choose to do so
• What are the physical and emotional changes that occur when you wean

• What if the baby doesn't want to stop but you would like to wean?
• Misconceptions about stopping breastfeeding debunked by Rowena.
• Plus more.

This is a must listen to episode for any breastfeeding Mama as all good things eventually come to an end and it is great to have the knowledge and support for when the time is right for you and your little one.
