Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'Babies can’t read clocks’ - in conversation with Special Guest Nancy Mohrbacher
Q: Is it normal to pump different volumes of milk at different times of the day?
Yes, milk production and storage capacity vary by time of day and individual physiology; mornings often yield larger amounts, while later sessions may be smaller, but this can still meet the baby's needs with appropriate feeding frequency.
'Babies can’t read clocks’ - in conversation with Special Guest Nancy Mohrbacher
Q: Can I also ask how pumping changes over time, especially when returning to work?
The main difference is how conditioned your body is to the feel of the baby at the breast; pumping later may feel different, but with practice and understanding of let-down, many parents adjust their routine successfully.
A paediatrician's view on breastfeeding - with Dr Vicky Thomas
Q: How is that possible? But it seems to be quite prevalent in this society.
Dr. Thomas addresses how extra challenges exist for people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, especially regarding access to support.
A paediatrician's view on breastfeeding - with Dr Vicky Thomas
Q: We would really love to hear how you became a professional advisor to LLL. What drew you to LLL and later to become a leader?
Dr. Thomas shares that her own difficult breastfeeding experience led her to seek help from LLL, which helped her through her challenges, and inspired her to help others.
Over to You Part 1 (four mothers and parents share their experience of having a new baby)
