Bio
I'm a research scientist working in a major UK university, and I recently had my first child, C. So far, I have exclusively breastfed her, and whilst I have found it ultimately rewarding, at times it has been a complete nightmare. One thing which definitely didn't help was the fact that the 'official' information given to new mothers by maternity services often completely misrepresents breastfeeding, and fails to provide women with the scientific facts. As a scientist and a writer, I was keen to uncover what the latest research actually tells us about breastfeeding (and how to make it easier), as well as documenting the experiences that women really have when they are feeding their children naturally.
