New RCT: extra 30 min of skin-to-skin (90 vs 60 min) in healthy newborns led to 44% increase (‼️) in exclusive BF at ~2-3 days, with effects maintained until 14 weeks.
Those are big gains from a 30 min cuddle session!

BREAKING NEWS: A mother who was sentenced to 28 months for illegally ending their pregnancy is to be released from prison.
We echo the judges’ statements that this is a case that calls for compassion, not punishment, and are delighted with this decision.

@kingsmedicine I hope this is a joke! Since when are your medical students your PA to do your jobs for you! They are they to learn and be taught! @BMA_JuniorDocs
Hopefully this is a typo @kingsmedicine? Medical students are not there to undermine the industrial action of doctors. Medical students attend placement to learn, not to scribe your ward rounds!
