Send us a textIn today's episode, we are joined by Ellena, who shares the deeply personal and transformative stories of both of her births. Ellena's first birth journey was marked by unexpected challenges, as she faced an emergency caesarean at 34 weeks after being diagnosed with eclampsia. She opens up about the subtle, often overlooked signs of the condition during her pregnancy and reflects on the surreal experience of having her son under general anesthesia after suffering an eclamptic seizure. Ellena describes the emotional and physical hurdles she faced as her baby spent time in NICU and she herself was in ICU, while also navigating the complexities of breastfeeding a premature baby.For her second birth, Ellena sought out a private midwife and chose to have a homebirth, giving birth to her daughter at 42+1 weeks. She discusses how she took a proactive approach, conducting extensive research and preparing herself mentally and physically, aware of the slim possibility of experiencing eclampsia once more—yet this time, her journey was different. Ellena beautifully recounts how she created a birth experience that felt empowering, culminating in the peaceful birth of her daughter on her own bed, in the comfort of her home.Ellena's Instagram Links:Eclampsia in Australia & NZ: A prospective population-based studyAustralian Action on Pre-Eclampsia Website RANZCOG - high blood pressure & pre-eclampsia The great birth rebellion podcast - preventing preeclampsia The great birth rebellion podcast - so you've got preeclampsia Support the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

When mothers can't produce enough breast milk, pasteurized donor milk is the best alternative for premature babies. A new law seeks to simplify the process. In other news, learning about climate change is a new graduation requirement for UC San Diego students, and it's the first school in the UC system to implement the policy. Plus, San Diego County's department of animal services is celebrating furry friends that have crossed the rainbow bridge with a Dia de Los Muertos altar.

Maternal human milk is the absolute best food for newborn nutrition that supports all of their accelerated growth in the first year. And although we have a basic understanding of the composition of human milk, every woman's breast milk has a different complexity when it comes to the nutritional content. But, you may be wondering, what exactly is breast milk composed of? For our 48th podcast episode, I review the general composition of human breast milk and what the variations are between preterm, term, and donor breast milk. I also discuss some of the anti-infective protective properties in maternal breast milk and how a preterm mother's milk has unique and complex properties that are lacking in donor breast milk. I discuss human milk fortification, the different formulations available, and why it is so important in our preterm population. I share why donor breast milk is used in preterm infants over formula and explain its protective mechanisms against necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Finally, I discuss how the pasteurization process, although important, impacts the composition of donor breast milk. I share why it is so crucial that mothers feel supported and are educated. Building trusting partnerships with NICU mothers will help to promote their milk expression, establish breastfeeding, and nurture the feelings of motherhood. A supportive environment coupled with education, has the potential to positively impact the mother's milk production in the NICU and beyond.

Since it's the season of giving I wanted to talk about one of the greatest gifts of all - that of donated breast milk. My special guest on this episode of the boobingit podcast is Dr Natalie Shenker, Cofounder of The Human Milk Foundation. Natalie is an Oxford-trained doctor and researcher, and she co-founded the Hearts Milk Bank in 2016. In 2019 she was awarded a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship at Imperial College London. In this episode Natalie talks to us about how donated breast milk is used by hospitals around the world to help give sick and premature babies the best possible start in life when mother's milk is not available. Natalie tells us why donor milk is needed more than ever, with babies being born to mothers with Covid 19 and too ill to feed them. The last three months in particular have seen hospitals and families in urgent need of donor milk for babies. We also look at why it's so important for pregnant people to get vaccinated and protect themselves against Covid 19.
Over 15 million infants around the world are born prematurely each year and can experience health complications and lengthy hospitalizations as a result of underdevelopment and immature immune systems. One of the best resources for these babies can come from their mother's breast milk, which has unique growth factors and nutritional qualities that can help combat a number of serious conditions that can impact premature infants. But for babies whose mothers may be unable to produce milk due to their baby's premature birth, or have health conditions or medications that preclude breastfeeding, and a physician recommends breast milk as the preferred choice for those infants' needs, what are the options? The answer comes from a resource that we might not all be familiar with. You've heard of blood banks where blood donated by the public is having a life-saving impact? Did you know the same resource exists for breast milk, with donor banks across the country providing this valuable resource to these tiny patients?! Joining me to discuss work being done to help improve access to these donor milk resources and ensure their beneficial impact can reach even more infants in need is Lisa Maillart with the University of Pittsburgh. She and a team of researchers partnered with the largest donor milk bank in the U.S. to help improve their existing systems and processes and realize significant outcomes. Their work will be featured in an upcoming edition of the INFORMS journal Service Science.
When a breastfeeding mom isn't making enough milk on her own, she has to consider some sort of supplementation for her little one. If you have low milk supply, what options are available and what are the pros and cons of each? Which options did our panelists choose and why? And what additional resources are available to help you make an informed decision? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode Michelle shares the story of her pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding journey with her son Ollie. Michelle has polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS and having been told that she may find it difficult to conceive, she was quite surprised when she fell pregnant really quickly. Michelle's pregnancy was very straight forward, and she tells a beautiful story about how she celebrated and honoured her pregnancy at each stage to help her connect with her baby and honour her transition to motherhood. Following Ollie's fast and complication free homebirth, Michelle went on to have a long and difficult breastfeeding journey, where she ended up relying predominantly on donor milk. We talk about the practice of breastmilk sharing and the community that has sprung up around it. We discuss how giving and receiving donor breastmilk through an online platform is a perfect example of bringing traditional practices of ‘Village Parenting' into the current time, another step in our shared passion for breaking down the unsustainable ideal of nuclear parenting and shifting towards interdependence.
In this week's episode I speak with the divine Paris Lucas. Paris is a holistic health and nutrition coach specialising in postpartum, women and children from birth and beyond.Paris was a guest in episode 17 and I'm so excited to have her back to speak about her birth and forth trimester with Coco.Paris is raw in this episode, and incredibly open in sharing the challenges she faced in her fourth trimester. I'm deeply grateful for her vulnerability and honesty, and I know that you will feel a mixture of gratitude and compassion both for your own journey and her's through this episode.Have your tissues on hand, this one will get you!

I’m joined by our resident lactation consultant, Cathy McCormick from HolisticBaby. This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Cathy for the podcast but we’re technically calling this episode part three.In the first two episodes, we dove into all things newborn feeding and getting breastfeeding established, so this time we thought it would be helpful to look at the other end of feeding being weaning – including night weaning because so many of you asked for help with that. Goodness knows we’re all as sleep-deprived as each other. We also talk about some of the very real and often emotional challenges in between, such as returning to work, biting, and breast strikes. Cathy and I also discuss the thought-provoking topic of donor milk and the normalisation that needs to occur for mothers to recognise this as an option should they need it. As always, Cathy is practical, empathetic, and compassionate in the advice she gives. I hope you find this conversation as pragmatic as you do empowering.

Today’s episode is one of the more thought-provoking ones and intentionally so. I speak with Christchurch mother-of-two, Kendall Green about her complex but beautiful feeding journeys with her daughters. Kendall was one of the first listeners to message me about Motherness and told me from the outset about her passion for advocating for milk sharing. I immediately knew she was someone I had to have on the podcast. Kendall’s experience covers a lot – a homebirth birth turned hospital birth, supply issues, lactation consultants, donor milk top-ups, feeding via an SNS tube, and weaning off top-ups to exclusive breastfeeding. She then went on to donate milk herself, set up a milk sharing service, and do extended breastfeeding. I know, it’s a lot. But feeding is a lot. And as Kendall says, it’s a fraught topic. In my experience, there is nothing more controversial, questioned, or debated more in motherhood than the way that you choose to feed your baby. I want to be clear that we’re not at all anti-formula, but what we are calling into question is mothers knowing that donor milk is an option. My hope is that this episode brings to light the amazing benefits of it, and allows you to consider the sacredness of human milk from Kendall’s perspective. Because an informed feeding decision is the best one, whichever path you choose to take. So, here’s Kendall on hers…Products mentioned:Haaka SNSMedela SNS Lact-AidFollow Kendall Green on Instagram.

April Robson had a picture-perfect family: a husband who once saved her in his phone as "April Hot Girl," two beautiful daughters, a son on the way and a loving community of (in-person and online) friends. Then she learned her two-year-old had metachromatic leukodystrophy, a rare, degenerative, terminal disorder that had a one in four chance of affecting Charlotte's newborn brother as well.With her trademark joy and honesty, April walks through her most heartbreaking and hectic season, marveling at how a person can continue to function even when her life is unrecognizable. Learn about how a tenacious pregnant mother disguised as a Mary Poppins-esque powder puff pushed to get answers for what was happening to her child. Hear the earliest signs of MLD, the strangest prayer April has ever prayed, and the happiness that can be found even in a hospital room.The rest of April's story will go live next week, when we'll learn what it means to be supported in every sense by the people who care about you - whether you've met them in real life or not.
