Breastfeeding/Sleep Expectations Versus Reality

Dianne Cassidy & Abby Theuring Season 1 Episode 148

Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!

Did you have an idea in your head about how motherhood was going to be?

Were you resentful or upset when it did not turn out that way?

Do you wonder where these ideas even come from?

You must be saying yes to at least one of these questions, because expectations are everywhere.

If you are a new listener, we would love to hear from you.  Please consider leaving us a review on itunes or sending us an email with your suggestions and comments to badassbreastfeedingpodcast@gmail.com
