In addition, Jayne has a wealth of experience in co-editing key midwifery text books including the 16 th and 17 th editions of Myles Textbook for Midwives (the world's best-selling seminal midwifery textbook).

Gabrielle Palmer is a breastfeeding campaigner who in this book points out everything which is right with breastfeeding, and everything which is wrong with the way in which it’s supported. Beautifully draws attention to how in our largely capitalist society, we show what’s important by spending money – and breastfeeding is free, which causes all kinds of confrontation and clashes.

Media coverage 

Doctor of Philosophy: Healthy eating education for midwives to investigate and explore their level of knowledge and confidence to support pregnant women to eat healthily, University of South Australia, 21st August 2020. Supporting Queer Birth (2022)A much-needed book to help us care for people who are LGBTQIAP+ written by activist and Doula AJ Silver from The Queer Birth club. Reading this helped me see some of my blind spots and there is plenty of actionable information which is very necessary. The number of people of childbearing age who identify as something other than cis heterosexual is growing, and as a group, they are at risk of many things ranging from hate crime to being denied or otherwise not accessing healthcare. I like AJ’s straightforward communication style, they have a quality and emotion in their words that stayed with me. Tell a newly qualified midwife that her handover was really good. Tell your manager if they helped you with a difficult situation. Tell someone if you admire their suturing or if a woman whose care you took overpraised them. Say it out loud so they know and be specific.’ Cancer Research UK and National Institute for Health Research/University of Nottingham: MiQuit Tailored Text messages for pregnant smokers Trial Trial Sequential Analysis meta-analysis Steering Committee (Professor Tim Coleman: Chief Researcher) October 2017 to present.
