IBCLC educational book club this summer is 3 things (2 books & a podcast) on the topic of allergies & breastfed babies

& Kaya Thorpe of
have put together this very readable book

We also read & discussed Breastfeeding Works - even with allergies by Robyn Noble

And the LLL Breastfeeding Matters podcast with professor Robert Boyle

The more I read the more I realise how complex things are and how much we need more research

Top learnings so far;

🤍Allergy isn’t always CMPA

🤍Listen to families - they know their child best

🤍It’s really hard & exhausting to be an allergy parent, comes with complex emotions & worries

🤍Each case presents (sometimes wildly) differently

NEXT MONTH: Baby-Thrive, is here to support you through the emotional and practical journey of balancing breastfeeding with employment or study.
I know that this transition can feel overwhelming—so I’ve created a live, online session to guide you through it.

In this small-group session online, we’ll explore:

💜 The emotional and physical benefits of continuing breastfeeding beyond 6 months�💜 How to communicate with your employer about your needs�💜 Finding childcare that truly supports your breastfeeding goals�💜 When, how, and how much to express—without stress�💜 Avoiding common hurdles and making the transition smoother�💜 How introducing solids fits into the picture�💜 Exploring all options—including if and when to stop breastfeeding

This is more than just an information session—it’s a chance to connect, ask questions, and feel supported in your journey.

Are you wondering about maintaining breastfeeding once parental leave ends?

Do you know what your employers obligations are?

Are you breastfeeding while working or studying…how did it go for you? Did you find time to pump? Was your boss supportive? Did breastfeeding alter your childcare choices?

If you are thinking about this topic please join the “Return to work” session in September:

*Throwback Thursday*

Pumps have come a long way since this picture was taken, but I still think most people would benefit from asking an expert before making a purchase

The most expensive pumps are not the best - there's a few good ones from £45-£60.
Having the most powerful pump might not be relevant/important.
If you need to pump frequently , you might be better Choosing something hands-free, even if the suction is less strong.

This picture from book "Breastfeeding - getting it right for you" published 1995

I’ll join all the Mamnas-to-be for a chat about how to get feeding your baby off to a good start

How does the “golden hour” set up breastfeeding success?

How to avoid common issues?

At on Wednesday 10th Sept and Saturday 13th September

Thank you to everyone who made the online launch of the Maternal Wellbeing, Infant Feeding and Return to Paid Work study report and toolkit.

Here’s a screenshot of the common anxieties which came up for mothers as their maternity leaves came to an end.

For those of you who were unable to make the launch you can watch the presentation of the key findings/implications of the report below:
