This is in Canada, but its important to keep in mind that infant formula is generally safe in the developed world, but still subject to recalls like any other food product. #formularecall #breastmilkneverrecalled

[CBC Vancouver @CBCVancouver]

Recall alert! https://t.co/8DHwWDyRD5

Its so important to have positive, diverse, and eye-catching images of #breastfeeding available! #hs200

My thought these days is that Every. Single. Lactation. Consultation. should be approached using trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing, as best practice in providing parent-centered care. IBCLC colleagues: get your training done. New parents deserve no less.

Nurturing the physical and emotional well-being of children in their early years is key to lifelong success!

Its important parents are informed about normal newborn weight loss so they don't worry unnecessarily

#Weightloss of 7% to 8% of #birthweight or greater by the third day after birth among healthy, full-term, #breastfed newborns is NORMAL. Formula is not needed in these cases. https://t.co/r4JTttqlfo

For many parents, the first time they ever see breastfeeding in person is with their own baby. Did you learn to nurse by watching others?

In a wave of pink this month for awareness, diagnosis and treatment, there's not enough said about prevention #breastfeeding #breastcancerawareness #preventbreastcancer #hs200

[La Leche League USA @LaLecheLeagueUS]

According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, breastfeeding reduces the risk of both post- and pre-menopausal breast cancers.

Although this is a great article, the photo chosen illustrates the sad reality that bottle feeding is still considered the infant feeding norm. Any photo of a child or family could have been chosen. Furthermore, #breastfeeding provides #foodsecurity! #hs200 @RWJF

Data from @uscensusbureau confirms just how effective SNAP is at turning participants’ lives around. In 2018 alone, SNAP lifted 3.1 million people out of poverty. https://t.co/XBWHvHcgDC

Birth trauma is real and unfortunately often due to mistreatment and abuse by health care providers, though this report is from other countries, this happens even in the US #birthtrauma #protectchildbirth #improvematernitycare #hs200

Are women’s natural experiences of three Ms—menstruation, maternity, and menopause—taboo topics that may constrain women’s careers? https://t.co/psX4SJJkEY #menstruation #pregnancy #breastfeeding #menopause #womenhealth #careers

@KatrielEncabo I think its a great idea. My freshman daughter says she sees vaping in the restrooms at her high school, I'm sure its the same at middle schools.
