Barbara - Simon Langley
I am managing editor of La Leche League International's magazine, Breastfeeding Today and co-editor of LLL GB's magazine, Breastfeeding Matters and have written for both publications too.
I qualified as a solicitor before working in legal publishing and before that I obtained a BA hons in German Language and Literature from Manchester University.
Recently I have been published in The Practising Midwife, The Green Parent, and Juno and over the past seven years have written for a variety of parenting magazines and websites,
I enjoy writing about parenting and breastfeeding and now that I'm writing for suite 101, I intend to diversify and explore other subjects too.
