Yonic Boom - Episode 17 - Post Partum Period

This episode has the midwives discussing all things PPP - post partum period return! 

When does it happen? What are those hormones up to? Is it an absolute disaster?

 

Also discussed is the midwives love of menstrual cycle awareness, a concept promoted by Kitty Maguire, The Red School, Lucy Peach and many more - you wouldn't believe what you can learn about yourself by tuning into your cycle! 

 

We talk about managing periods again (one of our fave topics) AND we even have a discount code for the amazing Sweet Lavender and Chilli Flakes, a wonderful Irish business making period products, custom knickers and so so much more… you have to listen to get the code though!

Yonic Boom - Episode 16 - Breastfeeding

This episode the midwives are discussing breastfeeding (also called chestfeeding or whichever term you want to use yourself). As it is such a broad topic it would be impossible to cover every element in one episode (or even one series) and so we’ve chosen a couple of areas to focus on and hope you enjoy the selection!
