If you are currently breastfeeding a toddler this episode is for you!
I answer the many questions I receive regularly about this topic - We'll cover setting boundaries, night weaning, breastfeeding through pregnancy, tandem feeding and how to handle other people's opinions. We also discuss the benefits of breastfeeding beyond 12 months, both for your toddler's health and your own. I also share strategies for how to stop the twiddling, wiggling and the annoying 'toddler aerobics' that can happen during feeds. As an IBCLC lactation consultant who is also breastfeeding a toddler - I'm right here with you!
Need support implementing boundaries with a determined toddler? Want to start night weaning or moving away from feeding on demand? Ready to stop breastfeeding but not sure how? Book a lactation consult with Hannah here.

If you're a mum navigating the challenges of life with a new baby this one is for you. I’m diving deep into how I personally implemented the Neuroprotective Developmental Care (Possums) approach with my son, who’s now 2.5 years old.
Register for my FREE Support your Baby's Sleep without Sleep Training Workshop here. It's on Monday Dec 9th 2024 at 1pm ACDT but the recording will also be sent to everyone who registers.
NDC is an evidence-based method that integrates the latest research from lactation science, neuroscience, attachment psychology, and even sleep science. It’s all about supporting both you and your baby over the crucial first year of life—and beyond.For those of you familiar with Possums, which many of you might have heard of, NDC was formerly known by that name. I share a bit more about why the name change happened in the episode.
In this episode, I’m focusing on the five key areas of NDC: Baby’s Health, Mother’s Mental Health, Feeding, Sensory Nourishment, and Sleep. I'll be sharing my personal experiences—what worked for me with Archie in those early months—and how I applied these principles to ensure his well-being and mine.
I’ll also talk about the importance of tailored support during this journey. Each family and baby is unique, so while I’ll be sharing what worked for us, remember that what works for one may not work for another. The advice in this episode is general, but I always recommend seeking personalised guidance for your specific situation.

Angela Duce (from Guardian Doula’s diary: the podcast) interviews Mel about Myth busting and truth telling about birth. Angela had questions about homebirth, choosing your birth team, postdates, ultrasounds, due dates, induction options and cephalopelvic disproportion.
Great birth rebellion Episodes that complement this one:
Ep. 3 Due Dates

Ep. 29 Small babies, big babies pt.1
Ep. 30 Small babies, big babies pt.2
This episode is a re-edit of The Guardian Doula’s diary: the podcast - birth myth busting and truth telling. The great birth rebellion would like to thank Angela for allowing us to share this episode on our platform
Angela Duce (Angie) has been a passionate birth & postpartum doula for 5 years, and is a mum to 4. Her own birth experiences taught her the huge value of doula support, which led her to the work she does now. She provides birth education, evidence-based information, advocacy, and support (both emotionally and practically) to her clients, all the way through their pregnancy, labour/birth and into the postpartum period. Like many birth workers she lives life on call for her clients (and her kids!), and wouldn't have it any other way.

Having your labour induced has risks. This episode is part 1 of a discussion of the labour induction process and the associated risks that go along with each stage of an induction. The discussion continues in episode 134. Sometimes the benefits of an induction outweigh the risks, but sometimes an induction is more risky than staying pregnant. This episode offers information to help inform your decisions around labour induction options
Mel also opens up the video presentations from the convergence of rebellious Midwives conference 2024. These are now available to the public and many of the exceptional presentations address the topic of induction and medical management of birth. Presented by top experts in their field.

When a baby is in a breech (head up) position for labour and birth, women are faced with unique challenges of care provider incompetence and fear. Many clinicians don’t know how to or refuse to attend vaginal breech births. They cite increased risk and danger, but is this correct? Is it more dangerous to give birth to your breech baby vaginally or by caesarean section? Dr Rixa Freeze, president of Breech without Borders talks us through the research and we discuss the concept of never being able to eliminate risk, we just move it upstream. It’s up to women to decide which risks they are willing to accept, and it’s up to care providers to be skilled enough to be able to care for women according to the womans' preference.
This is the second breech episode for the Great birth Rebellion, the first was with Dr Andrew Bissits (episode 26).
