Jen and Amy interview the wonderful Kathryn Stagg IBCLC of the charity Breastfeeding Twins and Triplets (@BFTwinsUK).

Kathryn talks us through the common myths and concerns with breastfeeding multiples with some really useful tips and hints for health visitors who come across parents planning to breastfeed multiples, things to watch out for and how to help them access support.

Kathryn has lots of wonderful articles and resources available on her website (below) and is running a webinar for healthcare professionals on the 6th November and 4th December, specifically targeting health visitors. If you would like to attend this seminar see the resources section below.

As ever we love to hear from you, send any ideas or suggestions to iamahealthvisitor@gmail.com

Thanks
Amy & Jen
