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

Merry Christmas!
Get your IamaHV Bingo card at the ready (downloadable from our twitter and instagram feeds @IamaHV), mince pies and cup of tea lined up and get ready to laugh. A lot.
Have your tissues at the ready for the last section, which got unexpectedly emotional!
Thank-you everyone for all your amazing funny stories. You are all hilarious! Thank-you to our volunteer voices who have recorded the specially selected few.
Thank-you to every single one of you who is continuing to just. keep. going. through everything and still managing to have a smile on your face from time to time. You are awesome.
Merry Christmas with so much love,
Jen and Amy x
