Women are being failed, not failing. And by that I also mean women who cannot breastfeed or breastfeed fully and are not given proper answers or a medical diagnosis. This would not happen if a male part of the body just wasn't working...

The case for of donor breastmilk being made by @DrNShenker from @heartsmilkbank at #Breastfeeding2018

[Emma Pickett @makesmilk]

Women feel a range of reactions when breastfeeding ends. And some are showing clinical signs of being traumatised. Don’t tell them it doesn’t matter. #breastfeeding2018

[Emma Pickett @makesmilk]

Who do formula feeding mums go to for support? Who talks to them about responsive feeding and gives them emotional support? @Prof_AmyBrown #breastfeeding2018

@annwatts21 @lotusmaternity @makesmilk @MotherworldlyUK @PedroStephano @BigBreastfeed @babymilkaction @babyfriendly @Prof_AmyBrown Exactly. Seriously is this satire??? I cannot believe that a MW in the UK who claims to have had @babyfriendly training is supporting this!! Disgraceful and pitiful.

[Prof Amy Brown 🕷🤱🐘 @Prof_AmyBrown]

@makesmilk @lotusmaternity @MotherworldlyUK @PedroStephano @BigBreastfeed @babymilkaction @babyfriendly Of course they're not promoting breastfeeding.

They might well be pretending promoting breastfeeding

But there's no way they're actually promoting breastfeeding

If they are - here's my public promise to give up gin

[Carmen @BeyondmilkIBCLC]

Yes this seems like a satire. FFS seriously a MW involved in this????? https://t.co/diwrcdz4bO
