I first met Emma Pickett via LinkedIn. I got in touch with her after reading an article she wrote and we met for a cuppa. It\\u2019s always nice to get to know people that work in a similar field, both professionally and locally.\\xa0
I treat a lot of new mums and babies with breastfeeding challenges, and a team approach such as breastfeeding support and osteopathy can really make a difference.
Emma was originally a teacher and Deputy Headteacher in central London. She went on to qualify as a breastfeeding counsellor with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (ABM) in 2007. The ABM (abm.me.uk) trains volunteers and professionals and co-runs the National Breastfeeding Helpline alongside the Breastfeeding Network.\\xa0
Emma qualified as a Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2011, recertifying in 2016. She has supported families at groups in North London for over a decade as a volunteer and answers calls on the helpline. Her book, \\u201cYou\\u2019ve Got It In You: a positive guide to breastfeeding\\u201d was followed by \\u201cThe Breast Book: a puberty guide with a difference \\u2013 it\\u2019s the when, why and how of breasts\\u201d . She blogs at www.emmapickettbreastfeedingsupport.com and her blog on the dangerous obsession with the infant feeding interval can be found on the UNICEF Baby Friendly site.\\xa0
She has two children and lives in London. You can find her on Twitter as @makesmilk.
