Unii Baby Feeding Expert Wendy Lever, IBCLC, was inspired to become a lactation consultant by her own maternal experience, and we're constantly impressed by the breadth of her expertise. She is also a total feeding nerd, and her passion for her work is infectious. She speaks to our host, A&E paediatric consultant Dr. Saranya Ravindran, about breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and weaning, from what's normal to when to resist the marketing directed at parents. She’ll give you her expert opinion on the best bottle and formula to buy, as well as how to know when breastfeeding is going well, when to stop, and what to choose as your baby’s first foods. Wendy shares the facts and busts some myths along the way.
