Nurse Reveals What Really Happens When You Stop Exclusive Breastfeeding Early

Grape water, herbs, tea a registered Nurse explains why none of them belong anywhere near your new-born. In this episode of Health and Wellness Podcast, we sit down with Registered Nurse Juliet to separate fact from myth on exclusive breastfeeding. What it actually means, Why breast milk alone covers everything a baby needs for the first 6 months, and the signs that tell you whether your baby is getting enough. Nurse Juliet breaks down the traditional practices many new mothers are still told to follow; gripe water, herbal teas, coconut water and explains why they're not just unnecessary, but unsafe. She also covers what to watch for if your milk supply is low, how often a baby should really be feeding (hint: it's not about the clock), and why "feeding on demand" matters more than sticking to a schedule. The conversation also gets into topics most new mothers are never told clearly: how to store breast milk safely as a working mother, whether breast size affects supply, whether it's safe to breastfeed while pregnant again, how stress impacts milk production, and whether you should stop breastfeeding if you're sick.
