Professor Amy Brown - Breastfeeding Uncovered has put together a wonderful free resource to support with breastfeeding grief and trauma, drawing - among other things - on the material in her wonderful book, Why Breastfeeding Grief and Trauma Matter, which has a host of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews on Amazon and is available there or direct from us at https://pinterandmartin.com/products/why-breastfeeding-grief-and-trauma-matter

World Breastfeeding Week is coming up. I know this can be a really difficult time if you had a difficult breastfeeding experience.

There may also be more queries to breastfeeding / infant feeding / lactation support services around this time from women and families who are trying to process a difficult experience.

So ahead of this week I decided to put together a website with lots of articles, videos and social media posts I've ever created on breastfeeding grief - free to access. You can learn more or signpost to some of the most common feelings, causes and ideas for getting more support.

You can find it as a tab on my website but for simplicity it's available at www.breastfeedinggrief.co.uk - it's a work in progress and I will continue adding to it. One thing on my list is to build a bigger list of resources for who is offering specific support with breastfeeding grief and trauma.

Please share with anyone who you think will benefit 🙂

I am super excited to announce that my new website is live, and that I am officially taking on clients! 🥳 https://www.amityreed.com/

🌱 Back to my roots as a birth and postnatal doula AND I am offering private birth prep, birth debriefs, and virtual support packages. PLUS I am offering coaching to midwives and memoir writers, and will be launching empowerment coaching for mothers very soon as well.

✍️ If that wasn’t enough, I have also launched a new Substack newsletter / blog, where I will be publishing weekly (or more) essays, notes, and more of my writing. It’s called The Uproar - ‘fun, feels, and feminism for the over-40 set’ Link to subscribe is in bio, and it’s totally free at the moment. https://amityreed.substack.com/

👀 So many new and exciting things on the horizon that I am incredibly excited about and can’t wait to share. One thing’s for sure: you’ll be hearing a lot more from me so keep your eyes peeled, your knickers untwisted, and your pearls clutched because s**t is about to get real 🔥 ✌️

Congratulations Professor Amy Brown - Breastfeeding Uncovered - what an amazing achievement! And a fabulous total amount raised for the The Human Milk Foundation

We (myself, The Human Milk Foundation and my soon to be former toe nails) just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us with this - whether you were able to donate, or sent me good luck messages or had daft conversations with me once it had got dark and I was dubiously alone in the woods doubting my life choices 😂🫣)

We smashed the target which will go a long way to making access to donor milk more equitable for more families who find themselves in need ❤️

As for me I’ve just beaten my personal best in the last 2 days for going down the stairs … taking the phrase one step at a time a bit too literally 🫣😂

This post makes us feel sad - those poor books ☹️ But what a fab chance to make the situation better and grab a bargain in Professor Amy Brown - Breastfeeding Uncovered's annual 'slightly damaged book sale'! Plus there's a subtle plug for the fabulous Maternal Journal 😁 Hurry while there are still some of these treasures in need of loving homes!

Time for my now annual post about damaged book offers 🥸

I've got a not so small pile of books that have slightly damaged covers or mysterious goings on (like a copy of let's talk about the first year with the inside cover page missing... ripped out... no memory of doing this 🧐😆).

Others have small creases or slight rips or other mild damage to the covers. Some have dodgy looking signatures or even are written out to someone with the wrong name because I managed to get distracted by something mid sentence or my pen ran out and I couldn't find one in the same colour and I hate sending out anything that's not perfect when it leaves me 😬

Anyway, the text of these is all unaffected but they are building up in a teetering pile on my desk that looks like it's about to give way and cause damage to something (or give me a bizarre injury) so I've popped them on my website at some bargain prices.

Just noticed my copy of Maternal Journal has worked its way in there. Not for sale (or indeed damaged) but was showing it to someone in a meeting and now it's an integral part of book tower structure. Great book though btw Maternal Journal

Great for anyone who isn't bothered by a books outside appearance or would like a cheaper version. There are only a few available at these prices. Last year's me wrote that I'm sure I'll end up accidentally damaging more in the future though - and she was spot on.

Includes UK delivery (international calculated at checkout). Discount codes don't work for these books sorry but will work for any other books that you might add to your basket.

Look for the ones labelled ‘damaged’

This week I have re-certified as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant for the third time. We have to do this every 5 years. Back in 2009 after completing over 90 hours of lactation education and 2500 breastfeeding counselling hours I sat the exam to gain this credential. I then recertified by demonstrating that I had completed the 75 hours of education and additional practice hours required to keep up to date in 2014. I reset the exam in 2019 as the rule then was that after 10 years you had to resit it. This third time I have been able to do via the 75 hours of education route again. The minimum number of practice hours required to recertification is 250 hours in the last 5 years. I entered 3600 hours which is a conservative estimate of the actual hours I have done over the last 5 years! Gaining and retaining this qualification takes effort, commitment and money as the fees and education costs run into several thousands yet anyone can call themselves a ‘lactation consultant’. Please don’t assume that because a person uses the title or you think they are a lactation consultant that they are. Ask them and look them up on the public registry to confirm that they have the IBCLC credential.

A great offer here from Professor Amy Brown - Breastfeeding Uncovered for Maternal Mental Health Awareness week - we get such good feedback about how helpful they are for those who may be struggling.

For Maternal Mental Health Awareness week I've put three books on offer that are particularly relevant to wellbeing. This is the cost of the books and postage to me - I just want to get them out there into the right hands.

There are also lots of free resources on my website, particularly around breastfeeding grief [see here https://professoramybrown.co.uk/articles/f/supporting-breastfeeding-grief---a-collection-of-resources ] alongside other articles about experiences of having a baby during Covid and single parenthood.
