    In this episode I discuss my own experience of breastfeeding after Birth Trauma. I talk about both encouraging and discouraging situations that occurred with various professionals after giving birth and attempting to breast feed. My hope is to offer understanding and compassion to mothers and birth givers who endure traumatic births and it's lasting effects. And a special thanks to mothers with excess milk supply who graciously donate their milk.
