In this week's episode of the podcast, I had the privilege of chatting to the very lovely Professor Amy Brown.
Amy is a professor of maternal and child public health at Swansea University. She is the director of their research center - LIFT (Lactation Infant Feeding and Translation), and the author of 10 books and numerous research articles which can be found on her website.
During this episode, we chat about the importance of preparation in pregnancy for the postnatal period.
How all birth partners need to understand in pregnancy, that their role is to provide care to the woman and the baby in those early days and weeks after birth, which will help to facilitate feeding - if that is what the new mother wants to achieve.
Why it is vital that the right level of support is offered during the early days and continues on for the months that follow, which will hopefully eliminate trauma and grief, that can be experienced if and when a breastfeeding journey ends.
We also discuss some of Amy’s books, including her latest ‘Covid Babies’ which was released last week. You can buy a signed copy of Amy’s book from her website - https://professoramybrown.co.uk
