Expert Profile: Loreena Walsh

Expertise: Whatever your breastfeeding question, I am happy to help. Worried about supply, engorgement, mastitis, attachment, nipple pain and soreness, whatever the worry you are not alone.

Experience in the area
I have successfully breastfed my 3 children until over 16 months of age. Through this I have experienced cracked blistered nipples, mastitis, attachement problems, weaning, self doubt and plenty of great memories and happiness. I love the benefits of breastfeeding for mother and baby adn believe that if more support were available for new mother's there would a greater breastfeeding success rate worldwide.

Education/Credentials
I have worked in Maternity during my Bachelor of Nursing and am a strong advocate of breastfeeding, and support for mothers.
