Emma is one of the best-known IBCLCs in the UK and I recommend her book, “You’ve Got It In You” to anyone hoping to breastfeed. This is a famous article of hers which has been reprinted by UNICEF

Hand expressing

Unicef recommend all mothers shown this useful skill - exressing colustrum antenatally to tempt sleepy baby, to help clear a duct or ease full breasts. Great easy video

Forceful letdown suggestions

thebabyexperience — 2025-02-05 10:44:41 UTC

an oversupply of milk can be troublesome. It often leads to a mother who is uncomfortable and at an increased risk of blocked ducts and mastitis, and a fussy baby who is being overwhelmed with milk.

Every parent dreads the witching hour in the evening when baby is crying, clearly in pain. It's "Colic" - but what can you do to help your baby?

All about Reflux & GERD - has your baby got it and what to do to help.

thebabyexperience — 2025-04-28 16:08:53 UTC

Some babies do have GERD. These are very unhappy babies and they may need medication, but they are in the minority. Most families can be helped by a thorough look at feeding and baby care, at stress and coping strategies. Reflux is about a lot more than what happens in the stomach. Our babies deserve to have someone take the time to investigate their distress.

Understanding baby "fusiness"

thebabyexperience — 2025-04-28 16:10:02 UTC

Young babies, both breast and formula fed, are often fussy. It is not unusual for this to happen during the late afternoon and evenings, and is usually NOT due to hunger, wet/dirty diaper, or anything that mom or dad can fix. It is usually NOT related to milk supply, although some mothers may worry about this.
