Dr Amara Okafor, MBBS, MRCPCH

Dr Amara Okafor is a consultant paediatrician who cares for newborns and infants, including feeding difficulties, weight and growth, jaundice, and the common medical questions of the first months. She reviews the medical content on Breastfeedo for accuracy, checking that explanations of infant health topics such as weight gain, mastitis, thrush, tongue-tie, medications, and vitamin D reflect current paediatric guidance from bodies such as the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Her review confirms that articles are factually accurate and clearly explained. It is not personal medical advice, and it does not create a doctor and patient relationship: anything that worries you about your baby’s health should be checked by your own doctor.
