Topic: Why Breastfeeding Grief and Trauma Matter, written by Professor Amy Brown
Professor Amy Brown, author of multiple books including The Positive Breastfeeding Book and Breastfeeding Uncovered, has researched breastfeeding, its impact on women, and how we can change things for the next generation of women. This book includes twenty years of research including an expansive study of over 3,000 women exploring experiences of infant feeding, and particularly how this can affect mental health and wellbeing. This lecture will explore breastfeeding grief, loss, or trauma and how we can change the conversation in support of the thousands of women who must stop the breastfeeding journey before they are ready.
