Low milk supply is not a mindset problem.
In this week’s episode, Emma Flynn shares her experience of breastfeeding with IGT (insufficient glandular tissue) a biological cause of chronically low milk production that is still widely misunderstood.
Emma is a midwife and a mum of three. Across her three babies she experienced:�• A conscious decision not to breastfeed�• Intensive triple feeding and supplementing�• And ultimately, a pressure-free feeding relationship built around connection rather than output
Inside the episode we unpack:�– What IGT is (and isn’t)�– The link between PCOS and supply�– When triple feeding helps and when it harms�– Protecting maternal mental health�– Redefining feeding success
If you have ever been told to “just try harder,” this conversation is for you.
We’re nearly at the end of Series 1 of Spill the Milk one final episode to go before I take a break and return before summer

“Once breastfeeding got going… it was actually easier than pumping.”

This surprises people.
Pumping twins sounds efficient.
In reality it often means:
• sterilising
• timing
• measuring
• washing
• mental load
Once babies are strong enough and feeding effectively, direct breastfeeding can be simpler and more protective of supply.
But you need to know how to get there.
If you’re pregnant with twins and want to understand:
• late preterm feeding
• triple feeding without burnout
• transitioning away from pumping safely
• tandem vs individual feeding
My Twins Antenatal Breastfeeding Preparation session walks you through it clearly and realistically.
Preparation changes the experience.
