Laura is passionate about equipping parents with knowledge, skills and resources for childbirth, breastfeeding and parenting. After many years of working on the maternity ward at Westmead Public Hospital and seeing the consequences when the mother –baby dyad was unnecessarily fragmented, particularly for initiating breastfeeding, she was excited for the opportunity to assist women and their babies with skin to skin contact for elective caesarean sections. It is her desire to see all healthy mums and babies who need to go to theatre and /or recovery, receive skin to skin contact.
