'The NHS wouldn’t tell a surgeon to stop an operation halfway through. 'A pharmacist wouldn’t hand out 40% of a course of antibiotics. 'So why is it OK for patients to be denied a full course of rehabilitation?' @SHazzard #RightToRehab theguardian.com/society/2025/m…

@AlexBThomson @drruthannharpur People turn to private providers out of desperation - post natal NHS care needs serious improvement. It’s currently focused on safe sleep, safeguarding and weight gain - weight gain immediately post birth a bit of an oxymoron for a breastfed baby.

@AlexBThomson @drruthannharpur many quickly say ‘you don’t have enough’not realising you have to ride the demand&embrace cluster feeds. Education and facts go out the window when your exhausted #mumof2- breastfed both til2years of age- but with my first nearly gave up@day3 due to no practical pragmatic support

Big questions here Why are lactation consultants, who are not medically qualified -diagnosing tongue ties and performing surgery on newborns -advising GPs to prescribe enormous doses of domperidone off licence to increase milk supply without appreciating the potential for severe psychiatric symptoms on withdrawal or evidence or safety for the infant -suggesting that women obtain the medication through online pharmacies by claiming travel sickness or via Facebook groups obtaining and distributing it illegally from abroad -and why are some GPs prescribing it on the recommendation of medically unqualified lactation consultants? -and what on earth is happening to women that sprucing large doses of a medication by illegal means in order to increase breastmilk supply seems like a good idea despite clear risks to them and their baby of doing so? Imho ... anyone who has ever given information exaggerating the evidence regarding the benefits of breastfeeding and/or denied the reality that breastmilk insufficiency and other infra to keep breastfeeding problems are common bears some responsibility for this diabolical state of affairs Do we need more breastfeeding support? No - we need more reality checks!
