This week Kendal shares with us her experiences of antenatal expressing after finding out she had Gestational Diabetes and talks about how she gave this milk to Eddison by syringe before getting into the swing of latching her at the breast. After a week long stay in hospital, Kendal and Eddison have a positive and relatively uneventful breastfeeding journey.
At 7.5 months, Kendal returns to work as a ECE teacher and when Eddison continues to refuse a bottle, they find ways to make it work and are able to keep feeding until 18 months. Kendal talks about demand feeding, feeding in public and comments she experienced that made her more determined to push through.
Their journey comes to an abrupt end when Kendal suffers recurring mastitis with hospital admissions and she talks openly about how hard it was for her knowing they were both ending something they loved but not on their terms.
Lots of wonderful parenting reflections shared, thanks so much Kendal!

Episode 8- Philippa- Positive Twins Breastfeeding Journey, NICU stay, Tandem Feeding, First time mum
Philippa shares the surprise of finding out she was having twins in her first pregnancy and the research she undertook to help be successful with feeding later on.
After a short NICU stay, Philippa talks positively about breastfeeding and puts this down to the support she had, the information she sought out and trying to be happy with the way things are going and not hard on herself if they didn't work out.
When we talked to Philippa she had made it to six months of feeding her twins are shares all the tips and tricks for how she made it work for her.
As Philippa says, it's so wonderful to hear a positive story of multiples and we're so glad she shared hers with us. Thanks Philippa!
