#06 Prof Amy Brown (Part 1) Breastfeeding Grief, and Why Things Need to Change

The first part of our conversation with Amy Brown, Professor of Maternal and Child Public Health at Swansea University (and author of many many books which you'll find listed below!)
We look at how Amy came to be working in breastfeeding research, why she regularly speaks up for those experiencing breastfeeding grief and trauma, and how it doesn’t help anybody to be pitting formula against breastmilk. We also get into her very long list of frustrations on the lack of effort going into improving breastfeeding rates by those that have the power to about bring real change.
