About Us

Sue Saunders is an IBCLC (Lactation Consultant) with a nursing, midwifery and breastfeeding counselling background. Since becoming an IBCLC in 1989, Sue's work has focused on lactation in a variety of settings from the NHS to private practice, both in hospitals and in the community, and has worked in Australia, England, and West Africa. In 2007 she was awarded the inaugural ILCA/WABA Fellowship in Penang, Malaysia and enjoyed working with the enthusiastic and energetic WABA team on a range of projects, during her two and half month stay.

She first became interested in breastfeeding in the 1970's when working with an isolated community of tribal aboriginals in the north west of Western Australia. The women all exclusively breastfed  their infants well into their second year and appeared to enjoy problem free breastfeeding, which was quite a revelation, at a time when the general feeling was 'that I would like to breastfeed if I can.....'.

Sue is a founding member of Lactation Consultants of Great Britain www.lcgb.org , professional adviser for LLLGB and ILCA Board member www.ilca.org

Sue is currently funded to facilitate the Seashells Breastfeeding Drop-In Centre at Sheerness and supports Mother to Mother Breastfeeding Peer Supporters across Swale in Kent.

Since 1989 her focus has been on lactation education for healthcare professionals and assisting mothers with breastfeeding problems, but admits that specialising can be a problem since she hasn't seen any 'problem free' breastfeeding since 1989!
