Sadly, I am speaking to very new parents who are also struggling to get access to weighing. What happens in your area?

@makesmilk I’ve had absolutely no contact from the health visitor team. I have a nearly 3 year old who I had to make 100 phone calls to get her 1 year check done and she’s not had her 2 year check. Also got a nearly 1 year old who hasn’t been weighed for 6 months or had her 1 year check! 🤷🏻♀️

So a mum bought a breast pump through insurance in the US, had to submit a claim and pass on her email address to company. Just got an email at 6m from pump company with title: “Did you know milk supply can dip around 6 months?”

Incredibly worrying to hear of people stockpiling infant formula. Please, please, only buy what you need so there's enough to go around.

@1stepsnutrition @babyfriendly @DoctorChrisVT 🤷♀️...?!
Needs funding from somewhere to pay for time of appropriate folk to keep it up to date and explore the evidence properly, which is the obstacle. Open to ideas!

So many great tweets to retweet at #BFConf @babyfriendly i hardly have time to do any! Great to hear clarity over allergy and caution over CMPA diagnosis from @DoctorChrisVT and Dr Bob Boyle - how can we set up a go-to-website for families that is COI free?

Nutricia Early Life Nutrition say new formula regulations mean change to preparation instructions. Our advice? Do not use information they provide - use the information provided by @babyfriendly and @NHS_Parents. unicef.org.uk/babyfriendly/w…

Our appreciation to @JonathanCliffe8 @dunkleybent @smithgillianbl @drtraceyc @LesleyBriscoe @Doula_Lisa who have stepped down as BJM editorial board members after the journal refused to move on accepting industry funding. Bold and courageous - we can only hope it has impact too.

This is really worrying - and one of our major fears about a hasty Brexit

Hey @asda can you tell your staff at Burnley store that this display of baby formula is illegal? These are first stage and hungry baby milks, on an end aisle under promotional signs. Please remove it. @babymilkaction

EFSA report on Salmonella Poona outbreak linked to infant formula in France, Belgium and Luxembourg aug18-feb19. This is why we need to maintain current UK instructions for making up infant formula with water >70C. efsa.europa.eu/en/press/news/…

Kate @Quilton asks if #formula milk is being priced fairly, and investigates if claims being made for it are unbiased and scientifically proven. #infantmilk @Channel4 @C4Dispatches MONDAY 18th 8pm #mustwatch #feedingbabies #infantfeeding #infantformula #babies #families #newbaby

@The_LIFIB This has been happening for years with no acknowledgement about the scale of the issue. I challenged attendance as a new hv and was politely informed ‘it’s not formula funded’ it’s funded by the IHV 😩
