Amy Brown
Prof. Amy Brown directs the research centre ‘LIFT”: Lactation, Infant Feeding and Translation at Swansea University in the UK. She has spent the last sixteen years exploring psychological, cultural and societal barriers to breastfeeding, alongside experiences of perinatal mental health and caring for babies. She is particularly interested in how we can shift our perception of breastfeeding and infant care from an individual mothering issue, to a wider public health problem. Professor Brown has published over 100 research papers and is author of 9 books including her most recent ‘Covid babies – how pandemic health measures undermined pregnancy, birth and early parenting’.
