Rachael Blair

 

 

Rachael is an English teacher by trade, a stay-at-home-mum by day and a freelance writer by night (she rarely sleeps). She lives in regional Western Australia with her husband, two young boys and a menagerie of animals. Rachael breastfed both her sons and due to her passion, research and interest in infant feeding, she has become a kind of breastfeeding mentor to those who know her.

Contributors

Mums and dads from all over the globe have provided stories and photos of their breastfeeding joys and challenges to make this book a very diverse read. It would be impossible to list all the contributors and those who’ve given time answering breastfeeding surveys here, but without them this book would not be able to offer a unique combination of expert advice and personal, anecdotal experience. Rachael and Joy would like to thank all those who contacted them to be part of ‘Breastfeeders Anonymous.’
