"I have had the pleasure of knowing Louise for several years, during which we worked together on Baby Friendly training. Her commitment to advancing breastfeeding education is truly inspiring. The Breastfeeding Educator Hub that she has created is an amazing resource for both new parents and professionals alike.
Louise has expertly shared her extensive knowledge of UNICEF standards and has shown us how to incorporate these important guidelines into our practice effectively. The hub is a treasure trove of information that empowers parents and caregivers to provide the best start for their little ones.
Well done, Louise! Your dedication to supporting breastfeeding is making a significant impact in our community."
