Kate is an endorsed midwife and IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) based in Australia. She is passionate about a no bull-s**t approach to feeding and motherhood, and ultimately supporting families to have their most empowered experience as they transition into parenthood. Kate has honestly shared her own feeding and motherhood struggles through her work in Milky Business. Most recently, this journeyed her through a cancer diagnosis early in her third pregnancy, managing tongue ties, expressing, weaning, cancer treatment and re-lactation.  In this episode we discuss  Being a midwife and ‘still' getting shredded nipples. Finding out her baby had a posterior tongue tie and dealing with the lack of support in this area.  How feeding her second daughter was beautifully redemptive breastfeeding experience.  In Kate's words how “third time round was the ultimate shit show that we made sunshine out of”.   Kate shares how whilst she was tandam feeding her two daughters she got a diagnosis of thyroid cancer in the first trimester of pregnancy number three.  We delve in to dealing with cancer surgery, treatment and being told you can't breastfeed.  Kate discusses how coming to terms with the idea of not breastfeeding her last baby was a shattering embodiment and she was determined to find a way through. This is where Kate shares her story of re-lactation, pumping, storage of milk, finding high lipase in the expressed breast milk and realising she cannot use it, using donor expressed breast milk, feeding at the breast, the moments of absolute joy and getting to a point where she looks back exceptionally proud and with a full heart.  Kate has gracefully shared her story, filed with insights and  warmth of heart. This episode will make you cry but it will also uplift you at the powers of the human mind, body and spirit. Kate shares her stories and much more over on her IG page.

Nichelle struggled a bit to find a place where she felt connected to the breastfeeding community. By sharing her store, she helps other families feel less alone and inspires other lactation professionals to push themselves to be better able to support these families. HIGHLIGHTS04:59 Finding support for the journey of exclusive pumping08:45 The things no one tells about about weaning10:30 Destigmatizing the use of expressed milk18:35 Raising awareness that lactation consultants are not just for feeding at the breast20:12 Creating the community for others she wished she had QUOTES06:50 “And that's why like being told you're wrong can be one of the best experiences you can have in your life.”10:30 “It's just really not something that we talk about a lot in our community.

We are introducing a new series today: Ask the Midwives! We're taking questions from our listeners, and for the month of March every question you ask will enter you into a drawing for a Luna breast pump by Motif Medical! See our blog post for more information: https://metromidwifery.com/?p=3097

  Cathy, like so many other non-birthing parents wanting to induce lactation or relactate, is trying to unravel all of the varying information she has received.  So she emailed us for help.  When I suggested we might share her email on the podcast so that we could help others in her shoes, Cathy agreed.  This podcast episode is devoted to addressing Cathy's questions, concerns, and confusion around the basics of how to induce lactation/relactate -- and you might find it addresses some of yours as well!  Below is the email that is the inspiration for today's episode: I am 38 and have an almost 3-year-old son whom I nursed from birth-22 months. We are in the process of adoption.  We are in process of our homestudy and imagine we'll be bringing an infant home within 9-12 months.  I am eager to relactate for this baby.  I have spoken with two of our local IBCLC's.  One suggested the Newman-Goldfarb protocol, and the second suggested I contact you.  My GP suggested I talk to my ob/gyn for the prescriptions and my ob/gyn said the only way to relactate is via pumping.  As you can imagine, I am a bit frustrated.

In the US, it is natural that we have a lot of concerns about the safety and side effects of domperidone.  Our Food & Drug Administration has not yet approved this medication (see episode #4 for more on that) so parents are generally obtaining it without a doctor's or certified nurse midwife's prescription*.  That also means that the pharmacist is not able to oversee use of domperidone and how it plays out with other medications that the nursing parent is taking.  That is our unfortunate reality today.  With this in mind, it is essential that parents and lactation professionals understand and take responsibility for possible contraindications and side effects associated with domperidone.  We are extremely fortunate once again to bend the hear of one of the most expert resources on safety and use of pharmaceuticals while breastfeeding, Dr. Frank Nice.

about their co-nursing experience, and with Katie about inducing lactation!  It has been a joy-filled road for them with a few bumps along the way ... including concerns with safety of medications, not always supportive healthcare providers, ​sore nipples, middle of the night challenges, and a bout of baby preferring one mom for bedtime nursing.  With creativity, communication and resourcefulness these two moms have navigated these challenges and now that baby is 10 months old they look back (and forward) to their nursing experiences with much gratitude.  

Alyssa and Hope get real!  Being a new parent isn't always the blissful joy we might see on holiday cards.  It can be really tough times, as well as wonderful times.  We suggest that the balance lies in self-care.  It can be so difficult to care for ourselves as new parents, and we haven't always done the best job of it ourselves. We hope our stories and discussion will support you and propel you into a holiday season and new year of simple joys and caring for yourself just as well as you already do for your precious little ones. 

I first learned about Malunggay (a.k.a. Moringa) as an herb to help with milk production when I was writing Breastfeeding Without Birthing.  When Diana West, IBCLC, author of Making More Milk and internationally known expert on milk production, was reviewing a draft of my book she suggested adding this really helpful herb.  I'm so glad she did!  Since then, I've worked with countless nursing parents who have successfully used this herb  -  whether they are inducing lactation, relactating, or needing to support milk production for other reasons.  During this interview, I chatted with Angela Veloso of Sugarpod Naturals, maker of Go-Lacta malunggay.  She has a rich knowledge and appreciation for this helpful herb, and after listening to her we think you will too!   Read our full show notes at our website http://www.sweetpeabreastfeeding.com/podcast.html ​  

Introducing the winners of the 2017 World Breastfeeding Triathlon!  Okay, I just made that up.  But if there was one, this couple would certainly have been a top contender.  Together they have successfully relactated, co-nursed, and nursed triplets.  Add tongue-ties for all of their children and you start to get the picture!  We think you will find this lovely couple as delightful and their story as heart-warming as we did! See more information on our show notes at: www.SweetPeaBreastfeeding.com/podcast.

What an opportunity to hear from a medical professional who has brought in milk for her adopted baby.  Deziray's expertise as a physician's assistant gave her added confidence in using a medical approach to inducing lactation.  For her, that worked really, really wonderfully.   She actually had a surplus of milk for her baby that she was able to donate her extra ounces to a friend unable to nurse due to cancer and to several other adoptive families. This degree of milk production is not typical for parents inducing lactation or relactating, but it certainly is exciting to know it is possible! See more information on our show notes at: www.SweetPeaBreastfeeding.com/podcast.

In this podcast, we catch up with Alyssa Schnell, co-host of the Breastfeeding Outside the Box podcast and author of Breastfeeding Without Birthing.  We heard a bit about Alyssa's personal story in episode #2.  Now we connect with Alyssa professionally as she shares some of her expertise on breastfeeding-without-birthing ... or breastfeeding in situations of adoption, surrogacy, foster care, co-nursing, relactation, and more.

Some babies seem to be born knowing exactly what to do at the breast.  And for some others...well, latching comfortably and getting milk from the breast isn't so easy.  Lots of times, mothers feel that they have done something wrong when this happens, when in fact their babies are born with some extra challenges.  That was certainly the case with Becca's baby.  But Becca was resourceful and determined, and with the help of some amazing local professionals she gradually and lovingly transitioned her baby from exclusive bottle-feeding to breastfeeding.  We are so grateful that Becca has shared her amazing journey with us!

Becca didn't give up.  When breastfeeding got off to a tough start and her milk production dwindled, she knew in her heart it wasn't too late.  With time, hard work, and determination Becca brought her milk back after she had lost it -a process called relactation.  She used a breast pump, medications, herbs, and the help of a myriad of local professionals.  And one pump at a time, one ounce at a time, she eventually built her milk production up to a full supply.

Domperidone is a pharmaceutical medication that can help increase milk production.  In this interview, Frank Nice gives us the scoop on "dom".  He tells us who might benefit from domperidone and who shouldn't take it.  He tells us about common - and some not-so-common side effects.  We learn what dosage is ecommended, and how to safely and effectively discontinue using domperidone when the time comes.  And of course we discuss the big controversy around domperidone - why it is not currently FDA approved and where we are in the process of getting  it approved.  ​   Listen to Dr. Nice's interview:   Here are a few highlights from our interview: General dosage of domperidone is 10-20mg 4 times per day or 30mg 3 times per day.  Increasing the dosage can further increase milk supply, but dosages greater than 120mg per day rarely result in additional milk production (although a few mothers have found dosages up to 240mg per day are effective).  Although most mothers who will get a boost in milk production from domperidone notice a difference within a few days, it can take up to 4 weeks for domperidone to have an effect on milk production for some mothers. Although risk of cardiac arrythmia is stated by the FDA as a reason they have not approved domperidone, metoclopromide (aka Reglan) has the same very low level of risk and it is FDA approved. While domperidone is currently in orphan drug status in route to becoming FDA approved as a medication for breastfeeding mothers, there is also a push for FDA approval for domperidone as a treatment for gastroparesis and this may happen even sooner. Right now, we can expect to wait another 3-4 years before domperidone is FDA approved. ​     Not only is he a wealth of knowledge, Dr. Nice lives up to his name with a huge heart for mamas and babies.  We are thrilled to add this amazing interview to our podcast stream.  Find out more about Dr. Nice and his work at www.nicebreastfeeding.com      About Dr. NiceDr. Frank J. Nice has practiced as a consultant, lecturer, and author on medications and breastfeeding for 40 years.  He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy, a Masters Degree in Pharmacy Administration, Masters and Doctorate Degrees in Public Administration, and Certification in Public Health Pharmacy.  He retired from the US Public Health Service after 30 years of distinguished service.

Alyssa and Hope are hard at work preparing to serve you with some inspiring and hugely informative podcasts to guide you along your journey to feed and care for your precious little one.  We will be talking with experts in the field - both lactation professionals and parents who've nursed their babies outside typical definitions of breastfeeding.  We will cover topics such as helping a non-latching baby, inducing lactation, exclusively pumping, bottle-feeding and bottle-nursing, nipple shields, at-breast supplementers, chestfeeding, co-nursing, relactation, IGT, tongue-tie, herbs and medications for increasing milk production, and more.
