Amanda Cooper - Dietician

Amanda is a clinical dietitian who has worked in the public health system and in nutrition and medical research. She currently teaches nutrition at University.  During the years she spent working towards her qualifications she had three children, and developed a keen interest in all aspects of childhood nutrition.

For 8 years she was actively involved in Australian Breastfeeding Association as a community educator.  Still keenly interested in promoting better infant and child health through better nutrition, Amanda hopes to become further involved in research as her children become older.  

 Amanda discusses good nutrition in pregnancy on DVD 1 (Pregnancy) of the Birthing Sense Birth Education Series. She also tells us what foods may contain listeria, and are therefore best avoided.
