Tips from our breastfeeding supporters for baby's first Christmas: Don’t put any pressure on yourself to have the perfect first Christmas. The perfect first Christmas is for relaxing and holding the beautiful baby you created. Not for stressing and running about
For us as doctors, this point is of paramount importance. When we use best evidence, who is that evidence based on? Black women? Question everything. Don't be afraid to ask. Asking requires strength but brings great knowledge. @iamKSealsAllers @babyfriendly #bfconf
We’ve had lots of interest in our @AssocBfMothers resources for schools at the #bfconf stall. Great to hear about plans being made and conversations with schools and school nurses.
Formula companies get access to spaces & conversations & events by claiming their specialist products for CMPA babies are ‘not breastmilk substitutes’. Their brands can be promoted. And breastmilk itself is promoted as risky. Many bf families eliminate dairy ‘as standard’ #bfconf
