At the end of #WBW2023 #WorldBreastFeedingWeek here are our recommendations for employers of clinical staff. Hope these are helpful

Sad and angry to see such blatant ableism in my local library, seemingly endorsed by @Autism

So excited to be in Split for #EABM conference with amazing friends and colleagues @BadgerEmma @DrJusticeReilly @sofia4bf @ilana_abc @DrHollysMum @milkymedics

This is a wake up call for everyone in our society and government about the harm that formula companies are causing to the health of women and children. This is a public health crisis! #ProtectBreastfeeding thelancet.com/infographics-d…

At BFD HQ today we are excited, emotional and moved by the live launch of the 2023 @WHO @TheLancet @LancetGH Series on Breastfeeding. Women & child health has been sidelined for too long and this shows in rising mortality rates #ProtectBreastfeeding #bf4docs We continue to fight

We loved delivering How Not To Make A Boob Of Breastfeeding at #RCPCH22 Great venue great audience great feedback and best of all seeing @DrNShenker and @heartsmilkbank @milk_foundation after. What a team #bf4docs @RCPCHtweets @RCObsGyn @RCollEM

How Not To Make A Boob Of Breastfeeding about to start at #RCPCH22 Has shaped up to be a fantastic session on #bf4docs Can't wait to begin! @RCPCHtweets @RCollEM @RCObsGyn @sofia4bf @DrHollysMum @LittleDoctorVic @BadgerEmma @HelsHammond @DoctormumBec

Particularly since there’s a huge focus on the Dippy exhibition and the impact of climate change and yet no understanding of the role of the formula industry on this. unicef.org.uk/babyfriendly/n…

@NHM_London such a missed opportunity to normalise breastfeeding. You could’ve easily included an image of this. I wonder if the animals in the NH museum bottle-feed their offspring too?

International day of Midwives cake competition at BHRUT. These cakes were made by our amazing Midwives.👏🏾👏🏾❤

@drpoco I’ve also injured myself destoning an avocado. You need an OXO avocado tool. I’m 8 years avocado-injury free

Stabbed myself with a knife today whilst de-stoning an 🥑 (middle class problems). Doesn’t look too bad, you’re probably thinking. This is the exit wound 😫

So some parts of the USA have less than 50% normal formula stock levels and parents are getting desperate. Factory closure + recall after Cronobacter sakazakii contamination caused deaths, + other supply chain complications. Bizarrely no US national press/response yet. @APPGIFI

Formula manufacture is a business with one bottom line💷. They're interested in sales. Call it organic all you want, it's still ultraprocessed and very cheap to produce. Prices like this make my eyes water knowing it pushes families into #formulapoverty

Babies are not calves

It is so important that the choices surrounding lactation and loss are discussed. Well done to the team at Bristol Milk Bank for supporting Janet to be able to donate milk in memory of Immy 💜 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

@lynne_drummond @chrisha_jay Surely a maltraer lodged in a bronchus would very quickly melt/dissolve and blockage disappear?

@chrisha_jay But it would be easier to choke on a Malteaser?? Even if they do have “ less fattening centres” ( last sentence only understood by people of a certain age 😂)

On s12 refresher course this morning & cannot figure out why in supplementary reading materials it states that on a Secure Psych ward, Rolos are banned but Malteasers are permitted. ***DISCUSS***
