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

Amy and Jen take a dive into a recent research paper suggesting there may be a newly identified biomarker for infants at high risk of SIDS. We look at the recent paper in detail, review the statistics and the methodology and consider what we are able to say and what we are not, as well as possible harms that might come from misinterpretation of the results.
We also discuss the article in the context of the current theoretical approaches to SIDS research and general safe sleep advice which importantly still needs to be followed.
We love to hear from you. Contact us with suggestions or ideas for future episodes at iamahealthvisitor@gmail.com.
Thanks for listening, Amy and Jen
