  • Summary

  • This is the final One in Ten podcast for the Miracle Month of May! And what an episode we have for you. I got to spend time talking to the phenomenal Alana Cumberpatch who is the Lactation Consultant in the Waikato NICU, a unit that looks after over 1000 whānau each year. Right from when we started our podcast I really wanted us to interview a Lactation Consultant as I know that this is probably one of if not the biggest topic within a NICU or SCBU experience.

    Alana talks to us about kangaroo care, colostrum, hand expressing, expressing with a pump, feeding and most importantly being kind to yourself. You can hear how passionate Alana is about her role and I have no doubt that her compassion for and commitment to families has made a significant difference to many who have had the fortune to have Alana at their side.

    I must add a side note that we forgot to mention that when it comes to expressing using a breastpump, that double pumping is advised as this can help supply volume plus it reduces the time spent expressing.

    That brings our Miracle Month of May pod series to an end but do subscribe and follow to find out when we’re back or get in touch with us to let us know what you would like to hear about next.
