What Influences How We Feed Our Babies with Professor Amy Brown
Join us as we talk with Dr. Amy Brown, professor and prolific author, about what influences how we feed our babies, breast, formula and solid foods!
Amy Brown, PhD is a professor at Swansea University in Wales, where she oversees the master of science program in Child Public Health. She started her studies in psychology and the arrival of her first baby sparked her interest in the barriers that women face when it comes to breastfeeding. She went on to have two more children and got a PhD, too! She has spent the last 12 years lookin at how psychology, culture and society can put up barriers to breastfeeding, but her work focuses on how we can improve breastfeeding rates by providing better support to families.
Dr. Brown has more than research 100 papers on barriers to meeting breastfeeding goals in the first years.
What we also enjoy about Amy is that she’s funny and fearless--follow her on Twitter Amy’s Twitter @Prof_AmyBrown and other social media platforms to get a taste of how she does her part to defend the facts about human milk and breastfeeding against those who wish to spread lies and untruths...
Professor Brown has authored SIX books (and all in the last five years!):
- Breastfeeding Uncovered (2016)
- Why Starting Solids Matters (2017)
- The Positive Breastfeeding Book, (2018)
- And THREE books in 2019:
- A Guide to Supporting Breastfeeding for the Medical Profession
- Informed is Best: How to spot fake news about your pregnancy, birth and baby
- Breastfeeding Grief and Trauma Matter
- AND she just released a BRAND NEW book last FRIDAY, which she’ll tell us about!
She is also a blogger and international keynote speaker, working tirelessly aiming to change the way we think about breastfeeding, parenting and caring for our babies.
