Über diesen Titel

Spill the Milk with Nicola is a podcast about breastfeeding, feeding babies, and the messy reality of early parenthood.

Hosted by Nicola O’Byrne, an experienced lactation consultant and paediatric nurse, each episode blends real parent stories with clear, evidence-based insight. You’ll hear about what actually happens when feeding doesn’t go to plan, what helps, what doesn’t, and why “just trust your body” is often not enough.

For anyone who is pregnant, feeding a baby, supporting new parents or wants to know more - this is for you.

    Born at 25 Weeks: Pumping, Preterm Feeding
    Jan 23 2026

    In this episode of Spill the Milk with Nicola, Emma tells the story of her son PJ, who was born at 25 weeks and 5 days.

    She describes the shock of sudden preterm labour, meeting her baby through wires and monitors, and how pumping became the one thing she could control during a long NICU stay.

    Emma talks honestly about expressing colostrum, building and protecting her milk supply, skin-to-skin care, and the slow transition from bottles of expressed milk to breastfeeding at home.

    Just as life began to settle, she discovered she was pregnant again and PJ’s feeding behaviour and her milk supply changed almost overnight.

    We discuss the science behind preterm milk, pumping, fortifier, and why milk supply can dip in early pregnancy alongside the emotional reality of making feeding decisions when your baby arrives far too early.

    This episode is for NICU parents, pumping parents, and anyone navigating feeding after a preterm birth.
