In this episode, we answer your questions! We take a dive into, inverted nipples and what you can do during pregnancy and with breastfeeding. Answer whether vaginal examinations are necessary during pregnancy, why milk teeth are called milk teeth, look into informed non-consent in the hospital setting, and discuss declining interventions during labour & birth. We delve into the ethics and copyright of how to share information. Whether you can or should breastfeed whilst pregnant, how placental function is checked on an ultrasound scan, and more on placenta previa. As well as also squeezing in why some women experience lower libido and vaginal dryness whilst breastfeeding and the KICO - knees in, calves out birthing position.

Phew! That was a lot and we hope you enjoy it.

What you didn't know about donor milk and milk sharing 48:32

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? In this episode, Katie takes Rachel behind the scenes for an in-depth exploration of donor milk—an intriguing topic that might just challenge everything you thought you knew about this practice. I have to caveat that some of the information in this episode is possibly going to get your knickers in a twist though – do we have any episode that don’t?! We’ll be discussing: The history of milk banking Are we seeing different health outcomes when using donor milk compared to a mother’s own milk? Are there differences between donor and mothers milk that we should know about What about informal, unpasteurised, milk sharing? Is this also happening in the hospital settings as well? And have you ever heard the term “milk sibling” before? I'll also dive into whether we need to rethink our approach to milk when caring for vulnerable infants. Plus, Rachel asks me about the future of milk banking—where is this practice headed?

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? In this episode Rachel and Katie dive into the fascinating topic of waterbirth (excuse the pun, but it was too good to leave out!). I ask Rachel my burning questions and she stirs up the cauldron exploring everything from the history of waterbirth to the practicalities and the science behind it. Listen in as we find out about: · When did women start birthing in water? · What does the research say about waterbirth improving outcomes? · Why are some women told they can’t get into the pool until they are 5 centimeters dilated? · Do water-born babies take longer to start breathing? · Guidelines recommend women get out of the pool to birth the placenta, but do they really need to? · And lastly, does waterbirth alter the baby’s microbiome? So, place your order with the barista, pop your coat on, or press play as you get those headphones over your lugol’s, and let’s dive into the deep end of waterbirth.

Kangaroo mother care and zero separation with Dr Nils Bergman 1:11:06

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? Dr Nils Bergman calls himself a Public Health Physician, and currently promotes and researches skin-to- skin contact on a full time basis. He is a Research Associate at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden. Dr. Bergman was born in Sweden and raised in Zimbabwe, where he also later worked as a mission doctor. He received his medical degree (MB ChB) at the University of Cape Town, a Diploma in Child Health at Uppsala University, and later a Masters in Public Health at the University of the Western Cape. During his years in Zimbabwe he completed a doctoral dissertation (MD, equivalent to PhD) on deadly scorpion stings. He has worked in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Sweden, and his last posting was Senior Medical Superintendent of Mowbray Maternity Hospital in Cape Town, overseeing 18000 births per year. He is married to Jill, and father to Rebecka, Simon and Emma, and has five grandchildren. In this episode, Dr. Bergman delves into the critical importance of maintaining skin-to-skin contact throughout the first day of a newborn's life. He explains how this practice not only connects and wires the baby's brain but also has profound effects on the mother. Dr. Bergman sheds light on the pivotal role of Oxytocin, often dubbed the 'love hormone,' which he eloquently describes as the hormone of resilience, vital for both mother and baby. We further explore the crucial significance of focusing not only on the first 1000 days of a child's life but also on the first 1000 minutes. Dr. Bergman passionately explains how these early moments are foundational for long-term health and emotional resilience. Additionally, we dive into the detailed work behind the latest version of the WHO Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) document. Dr. Bergman shares insights into the creation of this and introduces us to the concept of 'nurture-science.' He discusses how this emerg Want to listen to the new podcast 'The Feeding Couch'?

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? In this episode Katie takes Rachel into a conversation about why the nipple shield topic gets Katie’s knickers in a Twist. We discuss: The history of their use from1500s to present day How the research might not be telling the right story? Why are they so controversial? We ask do nipple shields affect how much milk the baby can take out of the breast? When might be a good reason to use a nipple shield – way more reasons than you probably think! How do you get the right fit, and who are we fitting the shield for, the baby’s mouth or the mum’s nip? Do babies attach differently when they use one? And we discuss how to wean off from using a nipple shield. All this and tons more packed in to one episode for your eager lug’ols. Want to listen to the new podcast 'The Feeding Couch'?

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? In this episode it’s us together again in the cauldron and Katie chats with Rachel about all things early weight loss… and gain in babies. We look at: · Why do babies lose weight? · What is normal weight loss? · Are there some babies who are more likely to lose more weight than others? · What’s with the panic once we hit the (not so magical) number of 10% weight loss? · And how can we best support mums and babies through this period of feeding difficulty, before we jump straight into the bottles of formula top-ups. · What about IV fluids given to labouring women and the effect on a baby’s weight straight after birth? We know there’s been talk of a correlation right, but why do we not have any standardised guidelines for this yet? · We try to straighten out the facts on one of those common anxiety causing parts of breastfeeding.

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? In this episode I discuss with Professor Sir Stephen O’Rahilly all things pregnancy sickness and Hyperemesis. Just a few months ago the scientific evidence was published highlighting what causes pregnancy sickness and hyperemesis. This breakthrough discovery came from the work of Prof Sir O’Rahilly, his team and the team from Dr Marlena S. Fejzo in the US. This ground breaking work gives hope to thousands of women globally who suffer terribly throughout their pregnancy with extreme nausea and sickness. I discuss what it is that causing this to happen during pregnancy. Why our human bodies could be making this hormone and what it’s use would possibly be for. And what the future holds for a cure, how Prof O’Rahilly and his team are working collaboratively with the pregnancy sickness support, a UK charity, women who have and are currently suffering from hyperemesis, and a team of obstetric specialists to find the answer to help stop this condition. Professor Sir Stephen O’Rahilly FRS, is Co-Director of the Institute of Metabolic Science (IMS) and Director of the MRC Metabolic Diseases Unit which is part of the broader University of Cambridge Metabolic Research Laboratories which he also directs. On the wider Cambridge Biomedical Campus, he is Scientific Director of the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and Head of the University Department of Clinical Biochemistry. He was elected FRS in 2003, to the National Academy of Sciences, USA in 2011, has received five honorary doctorates and numerous scientific awards.

Wendy Jones BSc, MSc, PhD, MRPharmS is known for her work on providing a service on the compatibility of drugs in breastmilk and has been a registered breastfeeding supporter for 36 years. She is passionate that breastfeeding should be valued by all and that medication should not be a barrier. In her employed life she was a primary care pharmacist.

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? Bonnie Hughes is a midwife, with a background in musical theater and journalism. She is the creator of the podcast series Making a Midwife, and an animation film-maker hobbyist. Bonnie is passionate about the power of story, and how the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we live, the stories we are part of, and the characters we play in those stories shape the future. Bonnie explores, both through her midwifery work and her art how she can create a positive and uplifting impact for both midwives and the women and families in her care. This episode will fuel your day tenfold when you hear us talking about the importance of taking up space and the power of anger. We discuss: · Working as a newly qualified midwife. · Her incredible stop animation film titled ‘Big Trouble’ · How society puts girls and women into a place where they have to earn their worth. · How women are conditioned to be small in size and mind, and the constant worry about how much space we take up in the world. · We touch on how almost every woman in a maternity unit talks about their size, whether pregnant or not. · We discuss how anger destroys us when we silence ourselves and let it fester. · And we ask “How can we use anger for its best purpose?” LINKS Bonnie Hughes films Big Trouble The shared anatomy of Students and Midwives Rage becomes her: the power of women’s anger by Soraya Chemaly Want to listen to the new podcast 'The Feeding Couch'?

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? Mavis Kirkham is Midwifery Professor Emerita at Sheffield Hallam University and has held honorary professorial positions at the University of Technology Sydney and Auckland University of Technology. After over forty years as a clinical midwife and researcher, she is interested in reflecting and writing on birth and midwifery in its wider context. A major theme of her research has been the way in which the context of their care impacts upon childbearing women and how their working experiences impact upon midwives. She has long been concerned with how birth stories are negotiated and the impact of these stories on tellers and hearers. With Nadine Edwards she has edited a new book titled Freebirth Stories. In this episode we discuss with Mavis: About Mavis’ interest in freebirth and why it seems more women are choosing this way to give birth Mavis tells us about the Freebirth stories from women and Doulas she and Nadine collected for their new book We discuss the importance of language in pregnancy, birth and postpartum spaces The important role that doulas play And we ask what Mavis sees as the future of midwifery Mavis is one of those midwives who has witnessed so many parts of midwifery and her bounty of knowledge and kindness shines through in this episode.

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? Dr Marina Weckend is a midwife and post-doctoral researcher based at Edith Cowan University in Western Australia. Building on 13 years’ experience in midwifery practice, education and research in Germany, UK and Australia, Marina is committed to improving maternity care services through better understandings of birth physiology. Her current program of research focuses on natural fluctuations and pauses during labour and birth, and seeks to normalise physiological plateaus as a strategy to reduce childbirth medicalisation. In this episode we discuss: What are physiological plateaus in labour? Are labour pauses normal? When do they occur during labour and birth? How long do they last? What’s the defining feature of a physiological plateau? How do midwives think and work with them based on their experiences?

Want to send us a message? Fan mail? Thoughts on the episode? In this episode Katie talks with Rachel about late preterm and early term infants. These are the babies who have flown under the radar for far too long and often are the babies who struggle the most to get going with breastfeeding. Come with us as we take a look at the current research, plans for feeding and what mothers are saying who have had babies born just that bit too early. · How many babies are born late preterm and why the numbers are growing. · How late preterm infants are different neurologically and physically to full term babies · What complications are more likely to be seen in the late preterm population · Current challenges within the maternity system when supporting mothers with late preterm infants · Is there a basic plan which can be generalised for most or all late preterm infants? · What about those babies born 37-38+6 weeks (early term), do they have higher needs too? · And we look at the barriers to continuation of breastfeeding. https://abm.memberclicks.net/assets/DOCUMENTS/PROTOCOLS/10-breastfeeding-the-late-pre-term-infant-protocol-english.pdf https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/2/312 https://internationalbreastfeedingjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13006-017-0114-0 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1740-8709.2012.00463.x https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/ Want to listen to the new podcast 'The Feeding Couch'?
