Ep.24. Izzy Judd on the ups and downs of breastfeeding her three children
In the first boobingit podcast episode of 2022, I sit down with Izzy Judd to talk about her three very different breastfeeding experiences. Izzy is a mama of three, author and the wife of Harry Judd from the band McFly. You may also know Izzy as the violinist with the electric string quartet Escala, who took part in Britain’s Got Talent in 2008. Having recently given birth to her third child, Lockie, Izzy is in the depths of the newborn phase and she goes into details about the ups and downs of breastfeeding the third time around. We also look back on her pregnancy and breastfeeding experiences with her oldest two children, Lola and Kit, who were born just a year apart. Izzy is the first to admit breastfeeding has never been an easy journey for her to tread, having encountered multiple issues, including tongue ties, poor latches, and recurrent mastitis. She speaks openly about how breastfeeding can be a more complex task with older children around and how she’s always tried her best to make it work – whether exclusively breastfeeding or combination feeding.
