Expertise
I can answer questions reagrding correct positioning for breast feeding, mastitis and how to deal with it, and increasing milk supply. I'd like to encourage and help women to continue breast feeding for the longest period possible. I can also help identify whether a woman is pregnant or not and what symptoms to look out for.

Experience
I've been pregnany before and I read a lot of articles and sevral books about the subject. I've also suffered from mastitis three times myself and was able to identify it and deal with it the last two times.

Education/Credentials
Took a course about Developmental Psychology in University while studying for my bachelor's degree. It covered pregnancy and breastfeeding as well as the child's psychology up till the age of 10.
