Welcome to the Milkademy - start here
Hi, welcome to the Milkademy. I’m Charlotte - IBCLC, certified attachment coach, and author of Why Breastfeeding Matters. I’ve spent nearly two decades in clinical practice specialising in tongue tie, oral dysfunction, fascia, prematurity, and reflux - and in developing secure attachment in infancy and childhood, which shapes how we relate to others for the rest of our lives. My research summaries have been published by UNICEF Baby Friendly UK, and I’m the award-winning evidence based blogger behind Analytical Armadillo. I built the Milkademy because parents deserve better than what the system currently offers. Everything inside is evidence-based, clinically grounded, and written by me. Ask me anything on the message board. That’s what it’s there for.

Help!
Daughter had her tongue tie snipped on day 5, but she is now 9 weeks and 3 days and I still can’t get her to latch on the breast :( Exclusively pumping and seeing cranial osteopaths, lactation consultants and breast feeding specialists as she’s interested and still trying to breastfeed, but just can’t seem latch or coordinate latching and sucking (even with a nipple shield). Her top lip is curled in when she feeds on the bottle and my health visitor and breastfeeding specialist have suggested she might also have a lip tie. Is this something milk matters deal with and that would have been picked up when you did the assessment? Any advice as to how we can move forward with breastfeeding would be really appreciated! Xx

Supply
Currently doing all the exercises to make space in babies mouth. Having to exclusively pump , but my milk supply feels like it’s dwindling. Using the Eufy S1 and doing 5/6 sessions a day for around 20/30 minutes and suffering with nipple thrush. Any ideas on how to maintain and increase supply whilst little one is bottle feeding?

Upping the teat flow
Just hoping for some advice. My daughter has had her tongue tie and there’s massive improvement. However she doesn’t have the strongest suck (as per osteopath findings) would it be something to consider in increasing the teat flow? Just wondered if that would help her as she doesn’t want to take more oz but at times struggled with fatigue around it

Tongue tie release 8 week old
Hello! Tongue tie snipped yesterday, finding it impossible to get under baby’s tongue to stretch the area! Any tips? He just wants to chomp on my fingers along his gum, making the recommended stretches impossible!
