Infant Feeding - With Stacey Zimmels

Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.25.

As you move through pregnancy and into motherhood one of the main things you may be considering is how to feed your baby.

Breast, Bottle, Expressing and Mixed Feeding are amongst some of the many terms and choices we hear of when we start to navigate our choices.

From the benefits, equipment to purchase, tounge ties and feeding positions it can feel like a mind field.

On this week’s episode I am very excited to be joined by the perfect expert to help you navigate these choices and crucially to share some of her expert tips and tricks to a successful feeding journey.

Stacey Zimmels is a feeding and swallowing specialist speech therapist (SLT) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Stacey has worked for almost 20 years supporting infants and children with a wide range of feeding and swallowing difficulties. Her breadth of knowledge and experience runs across the spectrum; including but not exclusive to, preterm infants, breast and bottle feeding, weaning difficulties, managing allergies and reflux, swallowing difficulties and fussy eating.

Stacey runs a private practice and continues to hold an honorary contract at the Royal Brompton Hospital where she continues to work on clinical research and provides as a locum services. Stacey has published abstracts and articles in her field of interest and has presented at conferences. In addition to her work supporting children and families she is passionate about training others in her field, she provides clinical supervision services for a number of other feeding specialist SLT’s within the NHS. She has also consulted on NHS service management and development for feeding and swallowing services.
