An Interview with Katie James - Preparing for a powerful feeding journey during pregnancy

Today I speak to birth and infant feeding legend Katie James about the ways we can powerfully prepare for breastfeeding.

Katie James - midwife, IBCLC, and one half of The Midwives’ Cauldron - joins us for this essential episode on breastfeeding preparation, support, and confidence.

Having followed Katie’s work closely and completed her lactation courses, she was the obvious choice for a conversation focused on how to prepare for breastfeeding in a realistic, evidence-based way.

In this episode, we explore the importance of community support in breastfeeding, the core foundations to return to when feeding feels challenging, and how to stay informed and empowered when things don’t go to plan. Katie brings both expertise and humour to the conversation, making this a valuable and reassuring listen for anyone preparing to feed their baby.

If you’re wondering:

• The basics of lactation to focus on when things feel difficult
