Feeding Infants with Lactation Consultant Sharon Armstrong

We hear a lot about the importance of nutrition for adults in maintaining health and well-being but what about infants? From the day a human is born they are rapidly growing, developing and laying the foundations for the rest of their lives using nutrients - from breast feeding or formula! ln this episode of The Nourished Wrap Katie and Jessica interview special guest Sharon Armstrong, lactation consultant, child health nurse and director of a well established family wellness centre, Embrace Life in North Lakes, Brisbane. The ladies uncover the amazing properties of breast milk further than just providing nourishment (it's seriously amazing stuff as you'll learn), how can women best set themselves up to be able to breast feed, common myths and expectations around breast feeding debunked, the importance of mum's nutrition in breast feeding, gut health and infant nutrition, formula feeding and is fed really best? what does this even mean? (the ladies really dive deep into this statement as there is a lot of misconceptions out there). Sharon is an absolute wealth of knowledge and this podcast episode is incredibly educational for any parent that wants to understand the importance of nutrition in the critical early years of life as well as bringing awareness around breastfeeding.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to The Happy Apple Podcast, bought to you by me, Katie King aka The Balanced Nutritionist. I live in Brisbane, Australia, but I work via telehealth so I reach people all around Australia and occasionally abroad.The Happy Apple podcast drops monthly, covering a wide variety of health topics but we ALWAYS try to keep the conversation positive and happy. Food should not be a source of stress.... it can be BOTH nutritious and delicious at the same time. I'm here to remind you that healthy food is fun and exciting and its ok to have an apple in one hand and the occasional croissant in the other! We rebranded this podcast in early 2021, so some of the older episodes will be under the old title 'The Nourished Wrap' - all of the episodes are worth listening too, in my opinion.To access my services, you can visit my website. I have a number of different online courses you can do from your own home or you can book a consultation with me. I also offer workplace solutions for corporate wellness.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show.
