Babies know what's good for them. They think they are part of you (the birthing parent). If they aren't touching you they will probably start to squirm. Not a design flaw. The two of you staying in body contact most of the time (making sure we're following safer sleep guidance) is what's best for them and for your milk production. Babies are so smart.

I'm going to start coming on to my socials more and talking about breastfeeding stuff. Episode 1: why aren't antenatal classes teaching parents that babies can latch themselves with little or no help?

Got a question or topic you'd like me to talk about? Pop it in the comments.

Till next time!

💡Did you know there are breastfeeding podcasts? Here are three of my favourites

🎧The Badass Breastfeeding Podcast
Informative and entertaining in equal measure, with extra points for frequently blasting the patriarchy and capitalism. Love The Badass Breastfeeder

🎧Makes Milk with Emma Pickett
One of the UK's best known lactation consultant IBCLCs in conversation with parents about their breastfeeding journeys or with other legends in the field of infant feeding. Just really really good.

🎧 Breastfeeding Matters
This is one of my newer finds, and another great listen for topics related to breastfeeding.

Each of these are (co-) hosted by IBCLCs so you can trust the information shared.

Local to me in Sutton? Book on to my free antenatal breastfeeding group (monthly in a Saturday morning in Trinco Restaurant in Oru Sutton) and have a conversation with a real-life lactation consultant IBCLC, the scrum half of the breastfeeding support rugby team.

Next groups: Saturday Nov 8th, Saturday Dec 6th

We won! The NHS infant feeding team I'm on has won the Patient Award 2025 at this year's Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust Staff Awards. This is the only award where nominations are made by service users, not by fellow staff. I am absolutely buzzing. THANK YOU to everyone who nominated us.

How can your partner help you breastfeed? (This goes for whoever is with you at home in those early weeks)

👉🏻 Learn as much about breastfeeding as possible Be chief nappy changer
👉🏻 Bathe baby
👉🏻 Cuddle baby after feeds
👉🏻 Wear baby in a carrier (babies who are held more cry less)
👉🏻 Provide easy food for you
👉🏻 Bringing you a drink
(Cook, clean, do laundry, write thank you notes, arrange appointments, correspond with folks who want to come visit, etc)

All those cuddles will promote a lovely bond between baby and that key person in your life. My favourite resource for partners/grandparents is the FREE online course Team Baby from the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers
https://abm.me.uk/product/team-baby-online-course/

Local to me in Sutton? Book on to my free antenatal breastfeeding session (monthly on a Saturday morning in Oru Sutton) and let's talk more about how your support network can support you to breastfeed.

Next groups: Saturday Sept 6th, Saturday Oct 4th
