I am Natalie, the creator of Baby Led Weaning Cookbook and the bestselling Baby Led Weaning Recipes app. As well as Annabelle, who is six, I also have beautiful twin boys, Oliver and Alexander, who are two. When I was first weaning Annabelle (who had CMPA), I really struggled to find recipes for the whole family that took into account her dietary needs, but were still delicious and didn't have a high number of expensive ingredients. It was my main driver for developing the Baby Led Weaning Cookbook app. This then led to me getting the bug, and going on to develop my Slow Cooker, Fussy Toddler and Lunchbox apps quickly after!&nbsp;

My name is Maria (IBCLC) and I am a London-based German mama of two little girls. I started Milk Making Mama as a community to help mums get together. To motivate, educate and support each other through their breastfeeding, pumping and bottle-feeding journeys. I am a qualified antenatal teacher, doula, and international board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC). I have a BSC in Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, specialising in antenatal and postnatal care. I am here to help and support you through your milk-making journey. To answer all your questions and listen to worries, doubts and concerns. But most importantly I am here to provide unbiased, evidence-based support that works for your unique situation. I currently run NHS community breastfeeding cafés in London that are free to attend and can provide a wonderful meeting point for fellow milk-making mamas and to receive specialist support. With my little self-drawn designs I want to create little sparkly celebrations for these moments that often get forgotten by others, and that truly deserve so much credit. My designs are to celebrate the physical and emotional work that goes into breastfeeding and pumping. I am passionate about normalising all aspects of breastfeeding, pumping, and supporting mamas throughout their milk-making journey by celebrating these small and big milestones.

Clare Byam-Cook trained as a nurse and a midwife. She worked for several years at Queen Charlotte’s Maternity Hospital in London before joining Christine Hill’s antenatal practice in Chiswick in 1989, where she taught the breast-feeding classes until 2013. Clare carries out home or hospital visits to any mother who is having feeding problems and also sees clients at her house in Putney (Erpingham Road, Putney SW15 1BG), London. Clare normally only ever needs to see a mother once for a 60-75 minute session – it is very unusual for a mother to need a follow-up session. All of Clare’s clients come to her through word-of-mouth referral from GP’s, obstetricians, paediatricians, Health Visitors, midwives and previous clients. Clare has made many appearances on television and radio, including This Morning, BBC Breakfast, Sky News, Channel 5 News, The One Show, Lorraine, Good Morning Britain, Loose Women, TalkTV, Radio, BBC Radio London, TalkRadio and Woman’s Hour. Clare is recommended in many books including Gina Ford’s “The Contented Little Baby Book” & Alison Scott-Wright’s “The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan”. Clare has also written articles and been a guest expert for various baby magazines such as Baby, Prima Baby, Mother & Baby and Junior Pregnancy & Birth.

Louise Broadbridge aka. The Honest Midwife is an experienced Senior Midwife and founder of Let's Talk Birth and Baby. The face behind Instagram's @thehonestmidwife, Louise believes that all births are different and unique and as such that antenatal education should aim to prepare expectant parents for every eventuality. In addition, Louise's hope is to rewrite the rule book and fully support both formula and breastfeeding parents by focusing on both forms of infant feeding and really teaching the physiology of the milk production system to give those that want to breastfeed a great chance of success.

Sophie Burch (aka The Mamma Coach) is a perinatal therapist and coach, mother to 4 boys (including twins) and author and founder of Beyond Birth: Mindful Early Parenting. Sophie has worked with thousands of people in pregnancy, birth and parenting with a mission to support and guide them through the challenges of this vulnerable, transformative time. Sophie uses both her professional and life experiences to empathise with and nurture everyone she works with and takes the view that if we all bring simple, effective mental wellbeing practices into our daily lives, we will be more resilient to the lows and more aware of the joy that life as a parent brings. How we are is how our children will be, and now, more than ever it's vital we take a moment to pause and practice ways to keep our minds at peace and bring increased awareness into everything we do. Sophie has created Beyond Birth as a Book & Journal, Ebook, Parent Support Groups, and now Mental Wellbeing Practitioner Training which has 200+ practitioners around the world. Sophie believes that if more mental wellbeing practices were introduced in pregnancy and early parenting, within classes and groups, it would become the “norm” more readily and we would see the benefits quickly on over-stretched mental health systems and services too.
