Just read this accessable book, would highly reccommend, for public health professionals & planners working with breastfeeding mothers, also mothers and partners.

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

'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

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

Breastmilk is a living fluid which can never be manufactured in a lab. Mothers want more support, not another product

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.
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?
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

Hundreds of people being forced onto Universal Credit every day. It’s pushing people to the brink - some women have had to resort to sex work to get by. @AmberRudd, when will you fix Universal Credit and put a stop to this?
Proactive telephone peer support to first-time mothers made a difference to the numbers still breastfeeding at 6 months
Telephone peer support increases breastfeeding duration in Australian first-time mothers.

Neonatal staff should work jointly with parents and always obtain consent before formula or fortifiers are given to their babies
In this survey I did back in March 2018, shared in 2 facebook groups, 31% of the parents asked said their babies had been given cows milk based infant formula or fortifier without their consent whilst their babies were in NICU in the UK.

What an inspiring campaign to promote closeness between families and unborn babies and young children in the crucial first 1,000 days of life!
