In part two, I wrap up with Rach Waia of Tiny Hearts Education. In this episode, Rach gets deeply personal as she shares her breastfeeding journey with her youngest son, Ziggi and how she was having intrusive thoughts. 

In this episode: 

• Boosting supply with supplements – what worked and what didn’t 
• Why it’s so important to seek support when you experience sudden and unusual thoughts/changes to your mental health, especially as a new mum
• The trials, tribulations, and wins of mixed feeding 
• Seeking out your circle of expert guidance (and tuning out the noise) 

Rach Waia is a wife, mother of three boys, and half of Tiny Hearts Education. Tiny Hearts Education’s mission is to help parents/caregivers navigate their journey with confidence. Tiny Hearts offers courses in baby first aid and birth prep, as well as a wide range of first aid products.
