Funded Activity Summary

I am a general practitioner and lactation consultant with expertise in breastfeeding research and practice. I am an international expert in nipple and breast pain in breastfeeding women, and have published widely on other clinical topics, including medications for breastfeeding women; also breastfeeding rates and factors associated with lower rates, such as maternal smoking, obesity and low-income. This fellowship allows me to look at ways to improve breastfeeding rates in Australia and to improve the experience for women and their families.
