Makes Milk with Emma Pickett: breastfeeding from the beginning to the end Hannah's story - IGT and working with Imogen Unger IBCLC
This week, I’m joined by two special guests: Hannah Clapham, mum of two and a holistic sleep coach, and Imogen Unger, a seasoned lactation consultant with over 20 years of experience. Hannah has Insufficient Glandular Tissue (IGT) and struggled with her first breastfeeding experience. She was better-prepared for her second experience, bolstered by Imogen's support, and continues to breastfeed her two-year- old son to this day. We discuss the complexities of diagnosing and managing low milk supply and how the right support can make the difference.
Find Imogen on her website https://www.imogenunger.com/ or on Instagram @imogenibclc.
