Sasha Howard

Dr Sasha Howard is a Paediatrician with a special interest in Paediatric Endocrinology. Sasha works as a Paediatrician in the NHS and is currently writing her PhD thesis in the field of childhood growth and development. She has professional experience of looking after many newborn infants and new mothers learning to feed their babies, but is also a mum to a young daughter and infant son.

Sasha is an advocate of breast feeding whenever possible, but in her work has also seen first-hand the consequences, both physical and psychological, of failed breast feeding for babies and their parents. She herself faced difficulties breast feeding both her children and experienced the complex emotions faced by many mothers when considering the choice to bottle-feed their baby.

Sasha has published several papers and book chapters and presented her academic work at scientific conferences internationally.
