Makes Milk with Emma Pickett: breastfeeding from the beginning to the end

• Research on breastfeeding beyond two with Joelle Morgan

  This week, I’m speaking to Joelle Morgan, an NHS research midwife, about her recent qualitative study on the experiences and challenges of breastfeeding beyond two years in the UK. We start off with Joelle’s own breastfeeding journey and how she came to carry out the research. She shares insights from mothers on social media support, the lack of healthcare guidance on weaning, and the underrepresentation of extended breastfeeding in research. We also touch on the broader implications for public health and the need for greater awareness among healthcare professionals.You can read Joelle’s study here https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/mcn.70072?msockid=1a148264df536e881f7f8dd5de6b6f2eMy new picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie’s Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

• Ruth's story - breastfeeding with craniosynostosis

  This week, I’m talking to Ruth from Lincolnshire about her experiences breastfeeding her son Rowan, who was diagnosed with craniosynostosis - a condition in which a baby's skull bones fuse too early, leading to an unusually shaped head and potential brain issues. Ruth established breastfeeding despite Rowan's early medical challenges, including a NICU stay with a collapsed lung, and has continued to feed him through the use of a cranial distractor to treat his craniosynostosis. Rowan is now a happy 20 month old, a booby monster and awaiting his next surgery. My new picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie’s Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

• PMDD and breastfeeding with Lucy Webber IBCLC

  The brilliant Lucy Webber IBCLC returns to talk to me today, and this time about a subject that is personal to her  - PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Lucy shares her personal experiences with PMDD, the importance of recognizing its symptoms, and the need for proper support. We talk about the challenges families face with the impact of returning menstrual cycles on lactation, especially when coupled with the severe symptoms of PMDD. We also explore the intersection of PMDD with perimenopause, and how to approach getting help from your GP.My new picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie’s Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

• Claire's story - milk donation after loss. Part 2

  This week’s story will be a difficult listen for some, but such an important story to share. I’m talking to Claire-Michelle Pearson about being a ‘Snowdrop donor’ at Hearts Milk Bank after the death of her son, Rupert. We’ve split the episode into two parts. Part 2 is about her milk donation journey and the birth of Rory, her five-month old (and we do make a reference to other losses more briefly.)Claire and her husband Russell tried to conceive for several years before she conceived Rupert. Everything seemed to go well with her pregnancy, but tragically, Rupert died during birth. Having heard of milk banks during her pregnancy, Claire decided to donate her milk when it came in, and ended up donating for over six months, helping many babies and families in Rupert’s memory. She also took part in Hearts Milk Bank’s ‘Connecting Hearts’ exhibition. Claire is currently breastfeeding her son, Rory.You can follow Claire on Instagram at @‌love_bertie_bearContact Hearts Milk Bank via their website https://humanmilkfoundation.org/hearts-milk-bank/donating-after-bereavement/For support after losing a baby:Sands | Saving babies' lives.
