Today on the podcast we chat with Nursing Professor, Elizabeth Denny-Wilson. Elizabeth specialises in obesity prevention research with special focus on infant feeding and primary health care.&nbsp; Elizabeth is on the WHO committee writing the guidelines around infant obesity prevention. She has a position on the National health and research council and is a member of their obesity committee. Elizabeth is also a board member of The Sydney Children&rsquo;s Hospital Network.&nbsp; Elizabeth is a remarkable woman and nurse whose empathy and compassion for new mothers and their babies is clearly evident throughout our chat together. Through all the research she has done and contributed to, she has found a large gap around mixed feeding for mothers. We all know breast milk for babies is the gold standard, but what if you can&rsquo;t breast feed, have to return to work, have poor milk supply or baby refusal of breast? What happens then?&nbsp; We discuss this and more! We talk about mixed feeding where breast and formula milk are both used and just how little information there is around this.&nbsp;&nbsp;Elizabeth discusses the need for us to be supportive of new mums as this can be a very stressful time, especially when there is advice and suggestions coming from loved ones, well meaning friends and even strangers feel they can add their opinions unsolicited. I felt so privileged to chat with such a remarkable nurse. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Elizabeth.
