Show Notes
Our special guest on the podcast this week is IBCLC and holistic sleep coach Kathryn Stagg, who set up and runs the Breastfeeding Twins and Triplets UK charity.
Kathryn specialises in feeding multiples, and she herself is a parent four boys including identical twins. She created the popular Facebook group Breastfeeding Twins and Triplets UK several years ago, and has now turned this into a charity-run organisation supporting families across Great Britain.
Kathryn tells us about her own breastfeeding journey with her twins and how it motivated her to become a breastfeeding peer supporter and ultimately train to be an IBCLC.
As well as offering advice and practical top tips for preparing to breastfeed twins or triplets, Kathryn also provides invaluable information around things like positioning babies for feeds, tandem feeding and breastfeeding in public.
Kathryn finishes by telling us about what led her to write her first book about breastfeeding multiples - released early next year! She also announces exciting news about how Breastfeeding Twins and Triplets UK will be expanding the service and support they offer families.

In a special episode of the Boobingit Podcast, we sit down with Ashley James—TV presenter, broadcaster, DJ, and mum-of-two—to talk about the judgment parents face when it comes to feeding choices and why it’s time for change. Ashley first rose to fame on Made in Chelsea and has since built a successful career in broadcasting, regularly appearing on shows like This Morning and Good Morning Britain. As a passionate advocate for body confidence, mental health, and parenting rights, she has used her platform to speak openly about the realities of motherhood—including the highs and lows of breastfeeding. In this episode, we dive into the findings of a new report from MAM, which surveyed 1,000 British parents. The report found that 63% of parents face intense criticism in early parenthood – 17% for their baby’s public behaviour, 16% for feeding choices, and a growing 15% for using a dummy. Ashley shares her own experience with mum-shaming and online backlash, and we discuss why feeding choices—especially breastfeeding—continue to be such a divisive topic.
