Show Notes

We hear a lot about the importance of nutrition for adults in maintaining health and well-being but what about infants? From the day a human is born they are rapidly growing, developing and laying the foundations for the rest of their lives using nutrients - from breast feeding or formula! ln this episode of The Nourished Wrap Katie and Jessica interview special guest Sharon Armstrong, lactation consultant, child health nurse and director of a well established family wellness centre, Embrace Life in North Lakes, Brisbane. The ladies uncover the amazing properties of breast milk further than just providing nourishment (it's seriously amazing stuff as you'll learn), how can women best set themselves up to be able to breast feed, common myths and expectations around breast feeding debunked, the importance of mum's nutrition in breast feeding, gut health and infant nutrition, formula feeding and is fed really best? what does this even mean? (the ladies really dive deep into this statement as there is a lot of misconceptions out there). Sharon is an absolute wealth of knowledge and this podcast episode is incredibly educational for any parent that wants to understand the importance of nutrition in the critical early years of life as well as bringing awareness around breastfeeding. Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!
