Featuring not just Olivia but also her newborn baby, Lucy and Olivia go back to basics with infant feeding, discussing everything from newborn feeds and skin on skin, to reaching breastfeeding milestones, and also how to feel comfortable feeding your baby, no matter how you choose to, whether its breastmilk or formula milk in those early weeks and months.
Both sharing their own experiences in the matter, their conversation is lived and honest; hopefully you may feel some camaraderie from the conversations they have.

As someone who has always loved and been fascinated by birth and babies, it is no surprise that Carmelle Gentle is a qualified midwife. But after years of working in a number of roles within the NHS, Carmelle realised the need for a specialist offering within oral function (or dysfunction), so she stepped away from her NHS roles, and started The Tongue Tie Clinic (https://londontonguetieclinic.co.uk). In this episode Carmelle shares her story and experience as a midwife, mum and tongue tie practitioner.
Lucy & Carmelle discuss tongue tie, oral dysfunction, how to optimise feeding babies in the early days and week, and how this specialist area affects you life long.
