About
My name is Louise Brandman
Briefly introduce yourself and share something interesting with website visitors. Double click to edit the text.
I'm a Registered Nurse and Midwife with 18 years of clinical experience, including five years as an Infant Feeding Lead Midwife and time on a neonatal unit. That background sits behind everything I create — every piece of content, every course, and every partnership is grounded in evidence, not opinion.
Alongside my work at Breastfeeding Educator Hub, I co-author a series of breastfeeding books with Victoria Palavecino Richard's, an IBCLC and naturopath — including The Two Mother Breastfeeding Guide (English and Spanish editions), From Milk Lost to Milk Found, Breastfeeding Against the Odds, and Your Baby, Your Milk, Your Journey. The series draws on our combined clinical experience to fill genuine gaps in breastfeeding support — for two-mum families, for relactation, for complex and difficult journeys — that most existing guidance simply doesn't cover.
I work with brands, platforms, and organisations who are aligned with evidence-based, realistic, and supportive care for mothers and babies.

Guiding You Through, Feeding, and Early Motherhood —
With the Best Experts by Your Side.

As a specialist midwife and breastfeeding expert, I see this every day and I also see what changes everything:
👉 The right support, at the right time, from the right people.

Every professional in The Village is selected based on:
-
Clinical expertise and qualifications
