Health visitors play a key role in promoting the uptake of the MMR vaccine. So important today with the rise in measles infections.

@NICU_Musings Fascinating MRI! Swallow with each jaw movement. Tongue movement seems minimal!

'Breastfeeding rates in this country are not nearly as good as they could be... We know that breastfeeding is one of the most important public health interventions and it costs nothing.' @CamillaKingdon

@JaneScatt Congratulations Alison! You will do a wonderful job representing health visiting!
English
Warmest congratulations Alison 👏👏👏👏
Alison Morton OBE💙@Alison_Morton2
I am very humbled to take up this position. The ongoing pandemic has brought numerous challenges to families & health visitors who have gone “above and beyond”- now is the time to “build back better”- there is no time to waste @iHealthVisiting

This is such a great opportunity for health visitors and students to learn or revise from one of the UK experts!

A reminder I have another live breastfeeding session for student HVs on 4th Nov at 10am. Pls message me for details. I can also share a recording. These sessions are free & focus on early breastfeeding challenges & positioning & attachment. #healthvisiting #studenthealthvisitor

@Francesca343 So sorry to hear this sad news Francesca. She looked a very caring lovely woman. We all owe so much to our mothers and you are continuing her caring legacy.

Breastmilk is a living fluid which can never be manufactured in a lab. Mothers want more support, not another product
Emma Pickett@makesmilk
If you’re a billionaire & you invest in lab-produced breastmilk but don’t invest equivalent or greater sums in supporting those who want to breastfeed, you: 1. Have an ethical problem. 2. Don’t understand breastfeeding. 3. Don’t understanding environmental impact of breastfeeding

77 pages into this by @mattspiro so far and it hasn’t flagged once. Every paragraph packed with insight, no quote wasted. Really interesting on link between immigration and #LesBleus and what that has meant for racism/inclusion in France. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Thank you Emma! I am very proud to be a nurse at the moment.

#InternationalNursesDay hashtag reminds me of some of my favourite breastfeeding supporters who are also nurses. @SBreward @FeedSleepBond @gee_twinklies Alison Spiro from @iHealthVisiting and @bestbeginnings, Sarah Oakley IBCLC. There are thousands more! Thank you xxx

I am shocked to hear that Nestle and Danone are present at the CPHVA conference. I understood that funding from formula companies was no longer being accepted. This puts HVs working in or towards Baby Friendly standards in a very difficult position.
First Steps Nutrition Trust@1stepsnutrition
Very disappointed @Unite_CPHVA to see that Nestle Nutrition and Danone Early Life Nutrition have stands #CPHVA19 - how does this support the majority of HV working in @babyfriendly accredited areas?

@JaneScatt also increasing breastfeeding globally to near-universal levels could save more then 800,000 babies lives every year (WHO The Lancet 2016)

This amazing video deserves national coverage! Many women will relate to the feelings and experiences expressed. Congratulations to all who put it together.

This is an awesome video - well done to @AssocBfMothers and all who make this possible. How amazing would it be to get these clips on TV?! #FeedOn
