@MathisenRoger This is interesting!

[Breastfeeding Advocacy Australia (BAA) @advocacybaa]

Women can breastfeed. Telling women to breastfeed and then hiding the education, support and structures required is simply unjust control. Would it classify as coercive control? Gaslighting? @Mark_Butler_MP because that is what’s happening

[Breastfeeding Advocacy Australia (BAA) @advocacybaa]

Let us remember why we have the WHO Code. Same applies in high income countries. @MurrayWatt @D_LittleproudMP this is often the result of your grants, life and death @AlboMP no exaggeration your Government grant has these consequences Image @UNICEF
