Podcasts about Muswell Hill

This week I'm talking to Liverpool-based public health doctor Alice Lacey-Campbell about tandem feeding, breastfeeding an older child, and breastfeeding with type 1 diabetes. Alice shares how her nearly five-year-old, Asha, breastfeeds only occasionally now after a “false stop,” often for emotional regulation, and describes dry nursing through pregnancy when her milk dried up around nine weeks. We discuss why antenatal colostrum expression is recommended for diabetes, and Alice's techniques. Alice recounts difficult inductions and emergency C-sections, early latching problems and tongue-tie with Asha, and a smoother breastfeeding establishment with five-month-old Kaida after a brief NICU stay, plus accidental gentle night-weaning and plans to return to work when Kaida is one.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week, I'm joined by the lovely Emily, a Norfolk midwife and mother to Effie (8 months). We're talking about breastfeeding alongside significant perinatal mental health challenges. Emily describes exclusively breastfeeding, co-sleeping safely, and introducing solids carefully due to anxiety, then shares how pregnancy and early postpartum intensified OCD, contamination fears, and intrusive thoughts, alongside existing anxiety, depression, PTSD and PMDD. She recounts a planned home birth complicated by a postpartum haemorrhage, theatre treatment and a blood transfusion, plus early breastfeeding pain despite an apparently good latch, temporary nipple shield use, and support including craniosacral therapy. Emily also experienced antenatal and postpartum DMER, severe oversupply, and an unsettled baby, eventually using block feeding until supply stabilised around 12 weeks. She explains how NHS talking therapies helped her reframe fears, and discusses plans for returning to work as a midwife and aiming for natural-term weaning.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

Dating while breastfeeding isn't often talked about, so this week I'm joined by Frankie (29, Sheffield) and Anna (40, Lancashire) to talk about their experiences. They share candid ‘dating profiles', then explore their breastfeeding lives and family situations: Anna recently weaned their five-year-old after nursing aversion began when their two-year-old was born, and they co-parent their youngest after two past relationships; Frankie is sole parent to her two-year-old, who breastfeeds frequently at night, with no contact or financial support from his biological father. They compare meeting partners through apps versus friends and in-person, when to disclose breastfeeding, childcare and co-sleeping constraints, and boundaries around introducing partners to children. They discuss partners' reactions to lactation during intimacy, cultural discomfort with bodily functions, and the challenge of being seen as both a mother and sexy, ending with advice on building support networks, self-confidence, and not rushing dating.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

Sometimes, our plans for feeding don't work out. That's what happened to my guest this week, Jade Feeney from north west London. Jade had hoped to tandem feed, but ended up weaning her eldest daughter during pregnancy due to hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). She shares a “dream” first breastfeeding experience with her eldest, later identifying cow's milk protein intolerance when weaning solids, but when she conceived again when her daughter was 18 months and developed severe HG, she required escalating anti-sickness medication, GP and triage support and months off work. She stopped feeding at around 22 weeks pregnant, after intense breastfeeding aversion, using a gradual countdown/tapering approach, and discusses the grief she felt alongside a feeling of relief. After an emergency caesarean, breastfeeding her younger daughter began well. Now 17‑months‑old, her youngest feeds very frequently, including overnight feeds and co-sleeping, and Jade has no plans to wean at present. My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week, I'm speaking to the brilliant Jessica, a police officer in Stirling, Scotland, about combining breastfeeding with police work and shift patterns. Jessica shares life with her two daughters, Nora (nearly 10) and Harriet (nearly 2), describing responsive breastfeeding, co-sleeping, and how Harriet settles well for her father and grandmother when Jessica works rotating day shifts and back shifts finishing at 1am. They discuss Jessica's earlier breastfeeding experience with Nora, which ended after a hospital admission and antibiotic treatment, and contrast it with Harriet's birth, a home water birth followed by NICU admission for suspected infection. Jessica describes later tongue-tie issues resolved privately, returning to full-time frontline policing at 14 months without pumping, and reflects on managing risk, trauma, and the value of taking feeding and work transitions step by step. My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

Su principal objetivo es dar a conocer a todas las personas del planeta, pero en especial, al pueblo africano, el valioso patrimonio cultural y natural de este gran continente. Hoy más que nunca existe la necesidad de proteger y preservar todo el patrimonio natural y cultural que se encuentra en el continente africano. Debido a la gran cantidad de amenazas que enfrenta el hombre moderno como por ejemplo el cambio climático, el terrorismo, la explotación de los recursos naturales, la caza indiscriminada de animales o el mismo desarrollo y que inciden de manera negativa sobre el patrimonio de todo un pueblo y que representa la herencia de las futuras generaciones. Debido a esto, el compromiso de la UNESCO es buscar alianzas y aunar esfuerzos para lograr las transformaciones necesarias que permitan preservar la riqueza invaluable de la cultura africana. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se requiere el trabajo mancomunado de todos los organismos y entes involucrados y hacer de ello, una realidad para alcanzar un mundo mucho más sostenible. 553 Comienza el Segundo Concilio de Constantinopla. 1821 En la isla de Santa Helena (en el océano Atlántico) muere Napoleón Bonaparte. 1890 En España se promulga la Ley de Sufragio universal. 1944 En India, Gandhi es liberado tras 21 meses de arresto. 1955 La República Federal de Alemania recupera la plena soberanía. 1961 Estados Unidos lanza al espacio su primera nave espacial tripulada; el piloto fue Alan B.

Today  I'm talking to the lovely Isabella from near Vienna, Austria, about breastfeeding her two sons, Jonathan (2½) and Valentin (1). Isabella describes generally good breastfeeding support and mixed feeding norms in Austria, and how her early postpartum pain settled with midwife help. She became pregnant unexpectedly when Jonathan was 10 months old while using natural family planning, and assumed she should wean. She made several attempts but didn't feel committed to a process that was complicated by bottle refusal and a lack of weaning information. After hearing positive tandem-feeding stories from this podcast, she resumed breastfeeding late in pregnancy when Jonathan was distressed and ill, then tandem fed after Valentin's birth. This time lactation started easily and she managed nights with family bed-sharing and support from her husband. Isabella eventually weaned Jonathan gradually at 2, starting with night weaning and dropping “set” feeds, while continuing to breastfeed Valentin to this day.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week, I'm talking to the brilliant Sam Kennedy Christian from Herne Bay, Kent, about her breastfeeding journey while 29 weeks pregnant and feeding her three-year-old. We discuss gentle night weaning using a clock and flexibility during illness or distress, co-sleeping changes ahead of a new baby, and Sam's previous tandem feeding experience when her eldest breastfed until six years old, including boundaries and supporting sibling feelings about fairness. Sam talks about pelvic girdle pain and nipple sensitivity in pregnancy. We also cover Sam's work with Save the Children on formula marketing, volunteering with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers, and her coaching work helping parents navigate breastfeeding alongside returning to paid work, flexible working, and shared parental leave.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

Today, I'm joined by the lovely Georgina Gregor from Devon to talk about her breastfeeding journeys with her two children, three-year-old Amaya and nine-month-old Lucas. Georgina recounts early breastfeeding pain, mastitis, hospital readmission for Amaya's 13.7% weight loss, and a later tongue-tie diagnosis and release at 10 months linked to solids difficulties. Amaya's disinterest in food and love of breastfeeding meant that her start with solids was slow, and Georgina had to carry on with patience. She shares weaning Amaya while pregnant: a significant supply drop around nine weeks, night weaning using the Booby Moon story, partner support, and a gradual daytime fade, alongside nausea and breastfeeding aversion in pregnancy. Lucas's tongue tie was treated promptly. He is feeding on demand and co-sleeping with frequent night feeds. He is much more keen on food than his sister was at this age.Georgina also discusses family pressure, helpful resources, and her new role as an infant feeding peer support volunteer.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week, I'm honoured to be joined by Dr. Laura Thomas, a community pediatrician from Reading, La Leche League leader, and breastfeeding peer supporter, to talk about breastfeeding in pediatric palliative care. Laura explains her day-to-day work with neurodiversity and neurodisability, her training and her own breastfeeding experiences. We discuss Laura's masters project using a questionnaire for palliative care and pediatric staff, which found breastfeeding is often not considered unless families request support, and that staff want simple guidance and signposting. We explore why breastfeeding and milk donation can matter at end of life and after bereavement, highlight resources like the Memory Milk Bank and Herts Milk Bank, and consider practical hospice support and future research into lactation supporters' preparedness.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week, I'm pleased to be joined by Auden Krauska, a non-binary parent of two originally from Wisconsin now living near Copenhagen, to talk about their nursing journeys and the complexities of lactation alongside gender dysphoria and healthcare systems. Auden describes binding, being misgendered, considering top surgery but delaying it to lactate, and stopping testosterone to conceive. Their first pregnancy involved hyperemesis, followed by a home birth, sidelying nursing, a newborn hospitalisation for enterovirus meningitis, and recurrent mastitis linked to oversupply and outdated advice, which improved with the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine's updated protocol and ibuprofen. Auden shares experience of parent-led weaning at 14 weeks pregnant, using a personalised storybook, and discusses nursing-friendly and pregnancy clothing, working remotely, Denmark's health care, and evidence and monitoring around resuming testosterone while lactating. If Auden does return to taking testosterone, they will do blood testing to check their daughter's liver function and hormone levels, and that decision is a way off.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week, I'm joined by the brilliant Emma Erskine-Fox, a Bristol-area lawyer, ABM peer supporter, and mother, to talk about breastfeeding her daughter Isabelle to nearly age four, including a gentle self-weaning ending. Emma describes being breastfed herself, antenatal education that helped normalise cluster feeding, an induced birth ending in an emergency caesarean, early latch and weight-loss difficulties resolved with midwife and IBCLC support, and some intense cluster feeding. She also shares navigating planned thyroid surgery while breastfeeding: initially being wrongly told her baby couldn't stay and that she must pump and dump. Emma postponed surgery when Isabelle wouldn't take a bottle, then did some research, contacting the trust infant feeding team and PALS, and secured a private room so her husband and baby could stay overnight. Emma continued to breastfeed Isabelle throughout her recovery and return to full time work, until Isabelle  finally weaned herself around 3 years and 10 months.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week, I'm welcoming Danielle Kyaligonza, who joins me from Uganda to talk about her breastfeeding journey with insufficient glandular tissue (IGT). Danielle describes a positive planned C-section birth in Cheshire, but on day five her baby Annie had lost 13% of birth weight and was later found to be severely dehydrated. This led to hospital admission, formula supplementation, and a traumatic start with pumping and limited breastfeeding support on a children's ward. After weeks of triple feeding and minimal pumping improvement, a lactation consultant suggested IGT, with possible hormonal factors including suspected PCOS. Danielle sought domperidone via Dr Sharon Silberstein, and saw some supply increase and leaking, but experienced insomnia, vivid dreams and anxiety when tapering off too fast. She now combi-feeds, breastfeeding six months old Annie mainly when she isn't hungry to encourage positive associations. Danielle is rightly proud of her perseverance in carrying on with breastfeeding despite all the challenges she faced.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week I'm talking to the lovely Emily from Glasgow about breastfeeding her two-year-old son Finn alongside multiple IgE food allergies and an unplanned separation. Emily and Finn call breastfeeding “bainne” (Gaelic for milk) to avoid confusion because Finn is allergic to cow's milk. We discuss Finn's allergy protocols, EpiPen use, contact reactions, and attempts at the milk ladder that caused hives, plus ongoing plans around night weaning. Emily shares a difficult birth, severe early breastfeeding pain linked to a posterior tongue tie that improved after division, the later development of eczema and escalating symptoms leading to allergy diagnosis, a nursing strike at 12 months, and a five-night hospital separation after Emily's postoperative infection where advocacy and accurate medication guidance helped preserve breastfeeding.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week, I'm honoured to be joined by Nicole from South London, the host and founder of the Squiggly Motherhood podcast. Nicole started the podcast because she couldn't find motherhood content that reflected her experience as an exclusively breastfeeding Black mother working in a senior corporate role, and she wanted space for the two truths that motherhood can be both hard and loved at the same time, with practical, values-led gentle parenting reflections.Nicole shares her feeding journeys with her two children who are just 18 months apart. She exclusively breastfed and delayed introducing bottles and dummies out of fear of disrupting breastfeeding, but later faced severe sleep deprivation with frequent night waking and significant pressure from others to stop breastfeeding or use formula, especially because her baby was small. She describes feeling isolated by exclusive breastfeeding and struggling to leave her baby, and explains how nights improved when her husband took over settling and they added other comfort methods.Nicole's second birth was an unplanned, very rapid home birth on the living room floor. With her son, early breastfeeding was harder due to a shallow latch and limited postnatal support because staff assumed she already knew what to do. She stayed in hospital longer specifically to get breastfeeding help, used different positions like the rugby hold, and took weeks to feel settled. She describes being more confident and accepting a second time, choosing co-sleeping from day one and not pursuing bottles or pumping. She later returned to work when her son was one. Nicole is still breastfeeding her two-year-old, who feeds frequently, and discusses managing boundaries within gentle parenting. She ends by advising parents breastfeeding past infancy not to justify their choices: it's enough to say it works for their family right now.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

I've got two amazing mums for you this week in a bumper episode about feeding five year olds.Natalie, in Cornwall, breastfeeds her 5-year-old daughter Georgia mainly at bedtime (and occasionally in the morning or when ill), and describes how continuing breastfeeding helped with starting school, bedtime regulation, co-sleeping, and meeting Georgia's high attachment needs. She discusses societal pressure, comments Georgia received from her classmates, her own feelings about reclaiming her body (supported by returning to exercise), and managing mixed reactions from family and professionals while staying confident in her choices. Dana, originally from the Czech Republic and living in Cambridgeshire, breastfeeds her 5-year-old son Alex every couple of days (around her evening work schedule) and tandem feeds him with her 3-year-old daughter River. She shares how tandem feeding worked after River's birth, how feeds fit around school and very early bedtimes, and how breastfeeding has been largely straightforward for her, supported by family.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week, I'm pleased to be joined by Dr. Kelsey Bianca, an academic researcher and certified lactation counselor from Maryland, USA. Dr. Bianca shares her personal experience with breastfeeding and exclusive pumping, which inspired her PhD thesis - a qualitative study of women who exclusively expressed milk. She discusses her research work involving pumping, the decisions parents face, and her studies on children's literature about breastfeeding. The conversation delves into practical aspects of exclusive pumping, attitudes of society and statutory protections in the US and UK. Dr. Bianca's insights shed light on the importance of understanding and supporting parents on their exclusive pumping journey.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

(Part 3 of 3) On the morning of February 8, 1983, a plumber working in London's Muswell Hill neighbor opened a drainage cover behind a Cranley Gardens apartment building and made a horrific discovery—the drain was blocked by pieces of bone and human tissue. Upon investigation, detectives traced the blockage back to one apartment in the building, where additional evidence suggested things were far worse than they'd initially thought.When the occupant of the apartment, Dennis Nilsen, was confronted with the human remains, he began telling investigators a shocking story and when he was finished, Nilsen had confessed to murdering and dismembering at fifteen men over the course of five years. In the annals of British crime, Dennis Nilsen ranks among the worst serial killers the country has ever seen, not only because of the number of people he killed, but also the method of disposal and the motive.  Mentioned in the EpisodeRead Jay Manuel's Fictional book inspired by ANTM The Wig, The Bitch & The Meltdown ReferencesBarlass, Tim, and Robert Mendick. 2006.

Today's guest is Emilia Kalyvides, a graphic designer and mum of two from North London. Emilia faced a lot of challenges with feeding her first child, including a tongue tie, extreme pain from her milk coming in, and a postnatal mental health crisis, which led her to choosing to bottle feed. She found out that she was pregnant with her daughter very quickly (they are just 16 months apart) and vowed that she would do things differently the second time around. After a lot of research and preparation, this time she established breastfeeding despite her daughter's low birth weight and sleepiness. They persevered through those early weeks of pumping, and she breastfed for 18 months. My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week I'm talking to two nursing mothers about their experience of nipple twiddling and broader 'nursing manners' issues that can arise during breastfeeding. Victoria shares her experience of overcoming twiddling with her son Arran, employing strategies like verbal communication, using alternatives, and creating a dedicated storybook to help him understand. Hannah, in the middle of similar challenges with her daughter Callie-Mae, has things to learn from Victoria's experience. We emphasise the importance of setting boundaries and recognising that accommodating a child's wants is different from addressing their needs. My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

If you're tandem nursing and wondering how your older child will ever wean when you are constantly feeding your baby, this is the episode for you! My guest this week is the lovely Lindsey Bouchard, a nurse from Massachusetts who has two daughters, Ada and Violet. Lindsey talks about her experience of oversupply and returning to work when Ada was just a few months old. She shares her experiences of night shifts, milk donation, and tandem nursing. When Violet was born six months ago, Ada gradually reduced her feeds unprompted. At the time of recording, Ada is still drinking breastmilk from a cup, but has not fed at the breast for a few weeks.

If ever there was someone who ticked all the boxes for breastfeeding challenges, it might be my guest this week.  Florence East's experience of feeding her son,  Fred, includes a C-section birth, latching issues, nipple pain, and a diagnosis of tongue tie, which led to the use of nipple shields and eventually, exclusive pumping. She discusses her experiences with triple feeding, renting a hospital-grade pump, and using domperidone to increase milk supply. Despite numerous challenges, including mastitis and vasospasms, Florence's persistence and Fred's natural instincts led to a successful return to breastfeeding after several months. Fred is now two, and Florence is pregnant again and looking forward to tandem breastfeeding when Fred's sibling is born next year.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

Now a 900 strong pub chain, with an annual turnover of £1.6 billion, J.D. Wetherspoon is a big name on the British high street. But when entrepreneur Tim Martin flung open the doors of the first branch in London's Muswell Hill on 9th December, 1979, it was known as ‘Tim's Free House' - and closed down on its opening night. He built up the business by taking over leases at old buildings such as churches and cinemas, and converting them into pubs - meaning they weren't tied to any particular brewery, guaranteeing lower prices for customers.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly interrogate Martin's ‘man of the people' image, reveal why Wetherspoon's famous carpets are so expensive; and ask if the ‘paltry chip count' meme explains why they came off social media… Further Reading: • How Wetherspoon's Conquered Britain (Esquire, 2018): https://www.esquire.com/uk/food-drink/a19129642/how-wetherspoons-conquered-britain/ • ‘Did Wetherspoons See The Pandemic Coming?'

This week, I'm joined by the brilliant Aisha Graham from Bristol. Aisha is mum to a nine-month-old daughter, and a five-year-old son, who her wife Lauren gave birth to. Our conversation delves into the dynamics of a same-sex family, co-nursing decisions, advocating for yourself and the importance of support during complex medical situations, including Aisha's unexpected appendectomy shortly after childbirth which meant dealing with an emergency hospitalisation with an 11-day-old baby nursling. We also talk about breastfeeding with big boobs - something which needs to be discussed more in breastfeeding spaces.My new picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

It's been a while since Paul or Eli curated their own Price of Shite segment. Whilst it's always delightful to receive P.o.S offerings in our PO Box, they wanted to see if they still had it in them to find the most weird and wonderful charity shop oddities. This week, Paul ran around Muswell Hill in North London to grab five items to parade before his co-host. It's up to Eli to wade through all five curios and put a price on each and every one. As a result, this edition of The Price of Shite spans the whole length of the episode and bounces across some familiar CheapShow segments. We listen to a smutty sci-fi record, evaluate some board game merch, read up on some London Underground facts and even play an improvised rap based board game! And yes, it IS every bit as cringe as you fear! But WAIT! Who is this strange fellow lurking in the shadows? Who is Professor Joke Thief? Find out this week!

Have you ever pretended to pass out in front of a friend or coworker, hoping they'll try to molest you? Dennis did that. Ever strip down naked while working security and rubbed your genitals on a stuffed gorilla? Dennis also did that.
