Maryam's story - being a doctor with breastfeeding challenges
Manage episode 516047978 series 3494257
This week I’m talking to the fabulous Maryam, a doctor and mother from Manchester, about her breastfeeding journey. Despite initial struggles, including mixed advice, nipple shields, a tongue-tie, and pump issues, Maryam remained determined and successfully transitioned back from triple feeding to exclusive breastfeeding. We explore the emotional and physical challenges she faced, the role of family support, and the impact of her experiences on her professional perspective as a doctor. Maryam also highlights the importance of culturally competent breastfeeding support and the innovative efforts of the Medics Lactation Community (MiLC) in providing peer support and educational resources for doctors.
