In the latest podcast episode we talk about how hard it can be to deal with #breastfeeding criticism
“There’s absolutely no reason why anyone should feel like they need to stop breastfeeding before they want to – it makes no scientific sense.” @makesmilk

We're going to share some of our #feedon campaign over the next couple of weeks to give you inspiration of breastfeeding out & about. We partnered with @ranstudioldn in 2019 in a project to normalise breastfeeding in public.
Inspirational to listen to @AminaJMohammed describe the pathway towards @UNSDG2030 tonight, and the vital role of universities. The new @imperialcollege Global Development Hub will support collaborative #science to intertwine with #policy + repair the 🌍.

Once again, for the people down the back . . . "If you are breastfeeding, you can have the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines. You do not need to stop breastfeeding after vaccination." #CovidVaccine#breastfeeding

1/3 Baby William’s mother Zoe has unfortunately been called for jury service. Breastfeeding a 2 month old was not seen as a reason by junior @MoJGovUK officials to defer jury service. Surely that’s not fair to the baby, mother, defendant, or the court @RobertBuckland@MoJPress?
It's not easy to ask but... Each appointment with a breastfeeding counsellor costs £25. We are committed to providing this free at the point of access to local mothers. Would you be able to 'pay it forward' and secure this service for one future mum?

Good to hear @andrealeadsom highlight the value of peer supporters & volunteers in essential toolbox for breastfeeding support available to parents. #WorkingforBabies#breastfeeding
Are you breastfeeding and due to be vaccinated for COVID-19 in the next few weeks? Would you like to take part in @imperialcollege research about how your milk responds?
🙏 contact [email protected] if you'd like to find out more.
What sucks at the moment is being a student HV & having no access to observing community breastfeeding support. I have a wee session that lasts about 40mins talking through positioning & attachment & common probs. I can share this for free & have a Q&A if you want to message me.
We were delighted to attend an engagement event hosted by the Duchess of Cambridge today, focusing on the value of peer support for new parents’ mental health. @KensingtonRoyal
John U. asks, “I’m lost on how to connect and bond with my baby. He’s an exclusively breastfed 6 month old, and I’m struggling with what to even DO with him. Does anyone have ideas?”
Besides bottle feeding, how did your partner bond with your baby? What do they do together?
