All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of AlzAuthors with the founding members and more.   About Marianne Sciucco:   Marianne Sciucco is a founder of AlzAuthors and the author of Blue Hydrangeas, an Alzheimer's love story. She's also co-producer and host of their podcast Untangling Alzheimer's and Dementia.   About Deb Bunt:   Deb took early retirement from her role in the youth offending service in London and moved to Suffolk seven years ago. As well as acquiring four grandchildren since she's been in Suffolk, she has also built an enduring friendship with Peter. This friendship Peter has given Deb a new lens through which to view her life.   Peter has enabled Deb to fulfil one of her life's ambitions – to be a published writer – and she now spends her time with Peter raising awareness of the condition or cycling insane distances around the county. Without question, Peter has enriched Deb's life.   About Tanya Ward Goodman:   Tanya Ward Goodman is the author of the award winning memoir, “Leaving Tinkertown.” Her essays and articles about travel, art, and the challenges and rewards of caregiving have appeared in numerous publications including The Washington Post, Orange County Register, Luxe, Premium Magazine, Atlas Obscura, and Variable West.   About Vicki Tapia:   Trained as an educator, Vicki Tapia has a proclivity for caring, spending over 30 years working as a Lactation Consultant teaching mothers and babies the art of breastfeeding.   When both her parents were diagnosed with dementia (Alzheimer's and Parkinson's-related) within a few months of each other, she took on the role of caregiver. As a coping mechanism, Vicki kept a journal detailing the many challenges her family faced along the way. Over time, her diary became a roadmap of sorts, morphing into the award-winning memoir Somebody Stole My Iron: A Family Memoir of Dementia.   About Dorothy Horne: Dorothy Horne is an author, speaker, and a former award-winning blogger for the Longview News-Journal. She was honored to be named a “Star Over Longview” in 2016. Dorothy is a member of AlzAuthors, “a global community of authors writing about Alzheimer's and dementia from personal experience to light the way for others." She has served on the board of the East Texas Alzheimer's Alliance and facilitated several Alzheimer's support groups. Dorothy is a retired first grade teacher. One of her greatest delights is being "Dot-Dot" to her four grandsons. She lives in East Texas and enjoys photography and traveling.   About Susan Landeis:   Susan is a member of the AlzAuthors management team and Board of Directors. She became a featured author on the AlzAuthors website in 2020, and team member later the same year. Her roles include Graphic Designer, Curator of Custom Caregiver Collections, and LinkedIn Manager.    Susan is the author of her memoir, In Search of Rainbows: A daughter's story of loss, hope, and redemption and she also penned Optimal Caregiving: A guide for managing senior health and well-being.   About Jean Lee:   Jean Lee wrote lesson plans for 22 years as an elementary school teacher. She had no aspirations to write a book, however when both parents were diagnosed on the same day with Alzheimer's, her journey as their caregiver poured out on paper through Alzheimer's Daughter. After the sadness of her parents decline, life brought her comfort and healing through the formation of AlzAuthors.com, cofounded with Marianne Sciucco and Vicki Tapia. What started as a one-month collaboration has now taken on a thriving life of its own for a decade.   About Carol Bradley Bursack:   Carol Bradley Bursack was a caregiver for an older neighbor and seven aging family members, all of whom are represented by first-person vignettes in Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories. However, Carol wanted to do more than tell her own stories. She wanted to give other caregivers a chance to do the same.   About Christy Byrne Yates:   Christy is an expert in navigating the challenges and opportunities in life including living in the “Sandwich Generation” — that time period of raising children while also caring for an aging loved one. Her book, “Building a Legacy of Love: Thriving in the Sandwich Generation” recounts her journey and learning as a working mother of two who also managed the care of her parents, both of whom had some form of dementia. She incorporates meditation, mindfulness and other evidence based mind/body practices into her work to support growth, resilience, and a pathway to living life fully.

This week on the Milk Minute, Maureen and Heather explore the risks of using unsafe alternatives to breastmilk, such as cow's milk, homemade formulas, and even introducing solids before six months. They discuss the potential health consequences, from nutritional deficiencies to developmental concerns, and emphasize why safe, evidence-based feeding options are crucial for your baby's well-being.With the holidays approaching, we often see babies being fed inappropriate foods for their age and developmental stage—like when grandma says, "She ate/drank the same thing back in my day and turned out just fine."We hope this episode helps you make informed choices about infant nutrition and care, and we wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

In this heartfelt episode, Carly opens up about her 13-month breastfeeding journey as a work-from-home mom. She feels incredibly fortunate to have been able to stay home with her baby, avoid the challenges of pumping excess supply, and receive unwavering support from her husband. Carly recognizes that this set of circumstances played a crucial role in her breastfeeding experience. However, she also deeply empathizes with moms who face different realities, such as returning to work quickly, navigating daycare, and pumping in excess to be able to provide breastmilk to their children while they are not with them. We are passionate about addressing the issue that the modern mom often finds herself struggling as societal pressures overshadow the importance of trusting her own instincts. While doctors play a crucial role, it's imperative for us to reclaim our innate power and intuition in nurturing and raising our children. Our style of parenting is responsive, adapting to each child's unique needs and reminding us that the ultimate guide to what is best lies within ourselves. Each mother's journey is uniquely her own, shaped by a myriad of factors and circumstances. Our podcast and this episode aim to inspire and uplift all mothers, encouraging them to embrace breastfeeding, co-sleeping, and baby-led weaning with joy and confidence if they feel called to do so. Above all, it's a reminder to trust your intuition and do what feels right for you and your child, free from comparison. We're here to support you, heart and soul, on your beautiful journey. We hope to create a culture and community of mommas who feel empowered and educated by their choices, no matter what they are.

This is a really lovely episode, where Agustina shares her two pregnancies and births, alongside her experiences as a Canadian living far away from her family. She opted for private obstetric care because she wanted extended follow-up care in the days after birth. She stayed really active in pregnancy, moved with the contractions and laboured relatively quickly, birthing both her babies with ease. Breastfeeding was a different story and if you've ever wondered exactly how profound and helpful a one-on-one session with a lactation consultant is, listen to Agustina's experience - it speaks volumes!  --------------------- Hilary Walker documents people and places with an informal documentary style, capturing mood and authenticity. Once a month she shoots maternity, newborn and family mini sessions in her cosy bedroom style studio in Brunswick East at affordable rates. Sessions are 20 minutes and they are a breeze.

Hilary also offers shoots at home and around people's neighbourhoods and she loves documenting families in their natural habitat. She's really good at making people feel comfortable and bringing out the best in everyone. I should let you know that Hilary is my sister, so she's paying me to say all this. But if you don't believe me, you can take a look at her work at www.hilarywalker.com.au and let her pictures speak for themselves. I have been lucky to have Hilary photographing our family all through my kids lives, but I also choose to have her photograph me for my business too. Most of the images you see of me throughout ABS have been taken by Hilary. She shoots portraits, still life, product, interiors and architecture too.

If you need to hear a positive NICU breastfeeding story, this is it! Sarah shares her experience with premature prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) and the NICU journey that followed the birth of her baby at 32 weeks. She started antenatal expressing in labour and continued hand-expressing in the days after before switching to a hospital-grade pump. She had plenty of milk, triple-fed and used a nipple-shield alongside navigating an oversupply (she could pump 400ml in a single session!). She saw a variety of lactation consultants in the first few months and emphasises how important it is to find the right person for you who also has the right level of expertise for your situation. ___________ Today's episode is brought to you by Kiwi.co.

As women go through the first few foggy, very sleep-deprived weeks of motherhood, they face so many new challenges. And for many new moms, breastfeeding tops that list. It can be overwhelming. How do you make sure you're giving what your baby needs? This is where lactation specialists come in. They can help new moms grasp the technique and navigate through the challenges – from sore nipples to low milk supply, mastitis and more. Consider them a starting guide to breastfeeding.    Host: Neki MohanGuest:Carey Acosta, Lactation Specialist at Baptist Health

You can listen to Andrea's birth stories in episode 312 and today, she shares her incredibly informed story about breastfeeding hypoplasia, also known as Insufficient Glandular Tissue (IGT). As she says, it's a story about what happens when breastfeeding doesn't happen. Her journey highlights the polarity between breastfeeding and formula feeding, the judgement when you choose not to breastfeed (or can't breastfeed) and the lack of lactation and social support for all mothers in postpartum and how this informs and influences feeding choices. Her experience also reflects the data: there is a strong link between inability to breastfeed and perinatal anxiety and depression. Andrea is also the editor of our postpartum book and has been a vital part of ensuring we talk about infant feeding objectively and with awareness of all experiences.  -------- Today's episode is brought to you by Kiwi.co.
