It's time for another Correspondence Corner. I thought I'd take it down low on that one. I didn't like it.

It wasn't the one. Sorry. So Emma, let's have fun. I nearly said up the bum. Fucking hell. That's a different kind of show. So let's have the first one. Fun house.

Let's have the first one. This house. Let's have the first one. This one is from Jade. It says, Hi, girlies. Just listening to you talking about tongue ties, and it reminded me of my boy having his procedure done at about four weeks old. It was awful beforehand. The milk from bottles was squirting out the side of his mouth.

He struggled latching on for breastfeeding and lost weight. But the snip is so quick. And although they cry, they advise to latch on the boob straight away as it stems the bleeding quickly oh oh they know that that's clever thankfully it helped he's now six years old and knows no different god bless that's nice that's nice to hear a positive you know what i had a lot of messages when i after i spoke about tongue tie and i'd say the vast majority of them were you saying that it worked out positively for you so i'm glad that it worked you haven't really had any negative no one said i got it done and it didn't work but people have said i got it

done and it helped but in combination with a lot of other things so they don't know whether it was the division or whether it was latch support breastfeeding help whatever or the baby just getting used to used to feeding like that so but for most people it's worked out well and a lot of people did also say when the babies get it done when they're really young they don't and it's like the jabs they don't know any different they cry at the time obviously but then they quickly go over it and forget about it so well not in my case really was fucking sad for a really long time jabs yeah five days he was so sad got more coming soon have you had yours yet it's 12 16 weeks and no sorry it's 8 12 and 16 weeks isn't it no so we've got some coming up soon have you have you had your first ones yeah first ones yeah

how did she take them um she cried obviously i actually thought with the first side i was like oh that was actually quite a like muted response and then when the second one went in she was like what the fuck yeah she screamed and the one in the mouth she choked on it oh that was actually that was more traumatic you know what i did i took the um i took the sterilized teat and i put it in the teat oh i've got the the nurse to put it into the tea that's clever and they didn't mind doing that no just drank it from there oh that's because he's a bit of a choker really yeah she chokes on cowpaw all the time yeah i put it she put it in the tea no that's a good idea yeah just suck it out just get a tea that she uses on her man bottle and i just takes

the syringe fills it up and then squirts it into the tea because those cowpole syringes are quite um hard to do smoothly aren't they like rockets and they yeah they jagged it yeah you try and do it smoothly and slowly then it's like i know and then it hits the back of their throat and they're like yeah yeah no put it in the tea good idea throat and they're like. Yeah. Yeah. No. Put it in the tea. Good idea. And then they just suck away. Here for all your mum tips. Here for all your mum tipos.

So no, he did the second lot. Absolutely horrendous. Was really ill. Was it worse? Yeah. Worse. Worse than the first? Hella worse. Oh no.

And then we got another set in three weeks. Oh God. But then that's it for a year, isn't it? Yeah. But that's only a year though. I know. I know there's controversy around the jabs. I do speak about this on my Instagram because I know that people tell me that you shouldn't do them

i don't know anyone who doesn't get their newborn jabs done there is quite a lot if you watch tiktok there's a lot of people that choose not to have the jabs done which is fine but i just i'm not i'm not one to risk like meningitis my sister had meningitis so my mum's sort of seen it firsthand yeah my sister was really well she she nearly wasn't here so it's not something i really want to fuck with no so i kind of just think oh a jab in the leg and a little bit of pain or short-term pain long-term gain yeah exactly but thank you yeah thank you um jade i was gonna say did she say her name thank you she did appreciate you all right i've got another one here it says hi soph and Emma. I wanted to share a story with you

after you talked about using other people's breast milk. Oh, I don't know. Whether we could feed each other's babies. When I was younger, I used to babysit for a famous family who will remain nameless. Boring. Tell us who they are. Tell us who they are.

The mother was pregnant at the time and also had an 18-month-old girl. Right, hold on. We're going on to Google now. Someone get Google. Right, Sherlock. We can're going on to Google now. Someone get Google. Right, Sherlock. We can work this out, I reckon. She used to have me go in the basement to open the freezer

and get out packets of frozen breast milk to give to the little girl. I always assumed this was her breast milk. Until one day I opened a package that was delivered to the house. Lo and behold, the package was full of frozen breast milk packets. When the mom noticed I had seen it and explained that if you can afford it, it's the best thing for your child. She was buying other women's breast milk online from various different places in America to feed her child. So I guess sharing your breast milk would be completely fine. Although I've never heard of anyone else ever doing this.

Hannah from Pennsylvania, USA. To be fair, we share loads of cows, don't we? We drink the tea milk of cows. Yeah, but it's like any cow for any person. Seven brides for seven brothers, you know? Is it any breast milk for any baby? Because I thought your breast milk was like tailor-made for your baby.

I did think that too. I'm not going to lie. I mean, I think having someone else's breast milk is like not going to kill them. But I think in terms of all the like antibodies and stuff, that's what they need from you, isn't that's what i thought also if she was famous how much is she paying for breast milk i'm gonna say victoria beckham it's america well they did live in america for a bit though no it can't be because she had a girl and then another baby

harper's their youngest okay maybe we won't get come on Come on. Come on. Someone in America. That is actually a crazy, crazy story, isn't it? Yeah. Like when you think of it in hindsight, that milk is, and was it just one lady's boobie milk or was it just a combination of shit loads of boobie milk? I think she's saying like other women. Like is there a shot?

Multiple. With loads of fridges just filled with loads of titty milks. Breast milk, yeah. Have you ever watched Working Moms on Netflix? She, Val, sells her breast milk i've only got through two series that's like 20 now she makes a fortune selling her milk online but i actually don't know if you could do it in the uk i think that might be an american thing it's criminal isn't it i don't think i don't think i would give sadie someone else's to be fair though there's donors in the hospital so when i was in the hospital with renly the lady over the way was pumping.

She had an 18 month old and fell pregnant. So she had so much milk that she was donating it to the hospital. That is amazing actually. I knew someone that did that. She donated loads. And she kept pumping for ages after her child finished feeding.

Yes. So that she could give it to neonatal units. Literally, she just sat there on the ward all day just pumping. And as someone who knows how much of a bitch pumping is that is an amazing effort people who do that she blew my mind she actually gave me the confidence to to pump to do it yeah yeah definitely yeah but she was a phenomenal like she just take and she was just like bottle bottle bottle bottle feed the baby bottle she just kept going and going machine i said this is absolutely phenomenal incredible i

know wow and i hope she's well because she she did have a she had a poorly baby as well kept going and going. Machine. I said, this is absolutely phenomenal. I know. Wow. Wonderful woman. I hope she's well because she did have a, she had a poorly baby as well. She was, I say that she was feeding the baby. She was obviously going downstairs to feed the baby

because the baby was on neonatal. But she was set up on the ward. They blessed them. They were just bringing her food all the time as well because she was. Just keeping her going. Yeah, yeah.

She had an 18 month old as well. She had 18 month old baby yeah then she had a she had a preemie too oh gosh yeah but she was she was phenomenal phenomenal phenomenal and i to be fair i think it's phenomenal if women can do it yeah i'm not gonna lie no it is because it's it's hard work it's hard work and being that i've been there i've tried it yeah it was full on it's a lot isn't it yeah and i've got even more like i had a lot of respect for boobie mummies. Yeah. Even more respect now after even just expressing those titties. Yeah.

Because it's still uncomfortable. I think pumping's harder than feeding, to be honest. Yeah. Well, it's just time consuming because obviously when you feed, it goes directly into the baby. Whereas when you pump, it's like just another step in the process, isn't it? I want to know how much people are selling them for. Yeah. See if I can make myself some dollar coin. Yeah.'t want to be on only fans you want to be on

only milk only titty milk all right we've got one more here it's from beth in cornwall she says hi ladies just listening to the bouncy avocado episode i loved the birthing playlist but thought of two songs that were missing d Diana Ross. I'm coming out. I want the world to know. Got to let it show. I'm coming. I think we found our tune. That sounded pretty good, didn't it? That's a phenomenal song.

And Pink, Get the Party Started. manhattan i don't know i as you know i've seen no films and pink get the party started party is a a little bit of i'd say a little bit of an over overused word maybe for birth yeah i wouldn't really wouldn't really say it's a party and also i don't want any guests there for the party rings

yeah the cheese savories or the mini mini cocktail sausages i'm not down for that everybody's waiting for me to arrive though that's true yes yeah sending out the message to all of my friends i'll be looking flashy in a mercedes-benz maybe not maybe not i'll be giving birth in a mercedes-benz maybe not so flashy but i see where you go with that one yeah i like the thought process yeah yeah yeah i saw a video on instagram the other day of a woman leaving hospital after giving birth to twins it was in America and her husband

Yeah, you're all so good at sharing. So what do you have for me today, Emma? All right, this comes from Becky.

She says, hello, ladies. My commute takes around two hours. Oh, Becky, God bless you. Oh, Becky, poor thing. So I tend to zone out every day. One morning, I'm sat on the train scrolling through TikTok, and there's one video of a woman grabbing each tit, massaging them in circles, and telling us it feels amazing for us big busted ladies with suckling babies.

Cue me grabbing my boobs. I closed. Circling them on the train. Mid circle on my second boob. I've zoned out and forgot I was surrounded by hot commuters on a Monday. At least they got a free show. What must have people thought she was doing? Grabbing her titties. And massaging them on the train. I don they got a free show. What must have people thought she was doing? Crabbing her titties.

And massaging them on the train. I don't really have much there anymore. I don't have enough to grab. I don't have enough to grab and circulate on the train. I've got so many questions. Why was this other lady, oh, she was watching the video. She was watching a video on TikTok

and a lady was saying, "'This feels amazing to massage your boobs "'if you've got big boobs and you're breastfeeding I think. So did she just forget where she was? She forgot where she was

she just zoned out and she's just basically rubbing her tits on the train. She thought she was in the comfort of her own home but in fact she's on a train massaging her tits with fuck loads of commuters.

That sounds a me thing to do really. That's very you. That'd be something like oh I'll just try that. Yeah I'll try that now why not? Fucking why not? Why not?

So, we're only on a train. Can't be, we're not going anywhere. We're practically at a standstill. A free show, if you will. I would have put a cup out. Yeah,
