This episode links really well with our previous episodes about combination feeding and giving top ups (linked in resources section below). In this episode Jen shares all her IBCLC wisdom with us on expressing breastmilk. How much do you know about flanges?!
We talk about:
- when to express
- the emotional and physical load of pumping
- how to pump
- 'hands on' expressing
- does the flange fit
- how much milk to expect

Have you ever considered a career in academia? Or perhaps a blended career with a mixture of clinical and research across your week? If so then listen in as Amy chats about the process of finding and applying for a PhD. You might be more well qualified than you realise! Health visitors make excellent candidates because of our passion for evidence based healthcare and our ability to read and think critically about the literature; applying it to real life.
