Ep.13: Getting to grips with breastfeeding and motherhood during a pandemic

On the podcast this week I am joined by Grace who is mama to little Freddie, born at the height of the Covid pandemic in 2020. Grace was actually one of the first mamas to share her breastfeeding story on boobingit.com when we launched last year. Since then she’s become one of boobingit’s founding members and has even become a regular contributor to the platform.

Grace talks about what it’s been like finding her feet as a first-time mother in a global pandemic, how she found getting to grips with breastfeeding during lockdown, and her experience of getting the Covid vaccine. She also talks about returning to work as a healthcare worker, and how her employers are supporting her to continue to breastfeed. We cover a lot of ground in this episode and I think it’ll be a story that will resonate with so many new parents.

“I do feel robbed of my maternity leave. I haven’t been able to go to baby classes and chat with other mums. It’s been very tough at times but I do try and take the positives away from it. Freddie and I have an amazing bond, because it has just been us.”
