We all know breastfeeding is good for babies. But how about nursing mothers? This 2024 study found longer lifetime breastfeeding duration lowers risk of heart disease (the #1 killer of women) in those with a history of diabetes. Women need this info! https://t.co/sVAHgkwI0I

📋Take our new survey.

We’ve been tracking how the #costofliving is affecting women on #maternityleave & their families.

If you’ve been on maternity leave at any point between January 2023 & the present day, please tell us about your experiences https://t.co/fYcnVkOwjj

Great work by our fabulous trustee @LittleDoctorVic highlighting that all infant formula are effectively the same & the reassuringly higher prices of premium products are a marketing ploy https://t.co/6t7IcWl5KP

🌐 Women shouldn't have to choose between their jobs and breastfeeding their children.

Let's support paid maternity leave, breastfeeding breaks, flexible work options and supportive environments for families. Because when breastfeeding works, society works better!

2 AUGUST 10:00 GMT+1 @BreastivalNI #WBW2023 #MothersMilkTool Empower women: Value and protect breastfeeding.

Mothers globally contribute approximately US$ 3.6 trillion a year to the economy through their unpaid care work of breastfeeding. Every year, the world loses around 21.9 billion liters of the perfect baby food because governments fail to invest in support for women to keep breastfeeding.

The team at @aliveandthrive, @fhisolutions and @ANUPopHealth are working to highlight the mind-boggling contribution of women’s unpaid care work of breastfeeding and the staggering cost to economies and the environment of failing to invest in support and protection for breastfeeding.

This international panel call for action to invest in breastfeeding support in communities, creating enabling environments for breastfeeding and protecting all families from aggressive marketing of commercial milks through strong regulation. https://t.co/GO9IczPIAX

TK @alisonthewliss for asking this PQ on the potential impact of the EU reform bill on UK #formula laws. These laws are protecting babies health so at minimum, need to be retained. Alison Thewliss on Department of Health and Social Care, at TheyWorkForYou https://t.co/4Tft6FnAoH
