Presenter

Dr. Jack Newman graduated from the University of Toronto medical school in 1970, interning at Vancouver General Hospital. He did his training in pediatrics in Quebec City and at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto from 1977 to 1981. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada and became Board Certified by the AAP in 1981. He has worked as a physician in Central America, New Zealand, and South Africa. He founded the first hospital-based breastfeeding clinic in Canada in 1984. He has been a consultant for UNICEF for the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, evaluating the first Baby Friendly Hospitals in Gabon, Ivory Coast, and Canada.

Dr. Newman was a staff pediatrician at the Hospital for Sick Children emergency department from 1983 to 1992, and was, for a period of time, the acting chief of emergency services. However, once the breastfeeding clinic started functioning, it took more and more of his time, and he eventually worked full-time helping mothers and babies succeed with breastfeeding.

Dr. Newman has several publications on breastfeeding. In 2000, he published a help guide for professionals and mothers on breastfeeding called Dr. Jack Newman's Guide to Breastfeeding in Canada (revised edition, January 2003) and The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers in the U.S. In 2005, he and others released a DVD on breastfeeding called Dr. Jack Newman's Visual Guide to Breastfeeding.
