In conversation with April Whincop

April Whincop is a La Leche League Leader (LLL) and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) based in Bristol.

I've had April described as the 'Mary Poppins' of breastfeeding because she is so brilliant at what she does.  April trained the Peer supporters we have in Bristol and works as a private Lactation Consultant to support mothers who want information before embarking on their breastfeeding journey, or if they require support when already breastfeeding.

In this chat April describes why people visit her and what she can do to assist if required.

She mentions the book The Womanly Art of breastfeeding which can be purchased from Born.

April can be contacted via her website Believe in Breastfeeding.

The Home Herbalist Apprentice with Amanda Rayment

Amanda Rayment makes Welcome World teas which we have stocked for many years in our stores and online.  Her knowledge of herbs is extensive and I've called upon her expertise many times in the years I've known her.  In this wonderful course Amanda will share her years of working as Herbalist with you. I spoke to her about the course, what it offers, how it works and who should consider doing it.
