@TheLancet There is an ongoing conversation about this cover of the Lancet and one they had five years ago here:

[Roger Mathisen @MathisenRoger]

Two covers of The Lancet, five years apart.

What are your thoughts and feelings when you see them side by side?

Infant formula company agrees to pay $1M for providing noncompliant products.

“Abbott knowingly manufactured infant formula purchased with taxpayer dollars in an environment that put the products at unacceptable risk of microorganism contamination”

Digital technology for breastfeeding?

Too many innovations have undermined breastfeeding and the provision and use of human milk. It’s time to use tech to protect, promote and support breastfeeding.

Where do you see opportunities and risks?

Did you experience this during World Breastfeeding Week?

Can someone inform
@ChatGPT @claudeai @Gemini and other AI tools that humans are mammals and the biological norm is for mothers to feed their babies with breastmilk from mammary glands when enabled.

Protecting breastfeeding also means protecting small vulnerable newborns. This paper shows two pathways for human milk bank services that ensure both medical and religious safety in Islamic contexts. 📄 https://t.co/J0nvrpdZFe #WBW2026 #Breastfeeding #MilkKinship #IntBreastfeedJ

Mothers should not have to protect breastfeeding alone.

Protecting motherhood and childhood, and enabling breastfeeding, is first and foremost a government obligation. To mark #WBW2026, we illuminate Code resources and opportunities to contribute.

From the cost of not breastfeeding to the value and investment needed to enable it.

For #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, we’re sharing open access resources on the economics and financing of breastfeeding.

This 2026 status report presents a global assessment of the extent to which countries have implemented the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes and subsequent World Health Assembly resolutions through national legal measures. https://t.co/TtMBYVQxKt

[Roger Mathisen @MathisenRoger]

Mother’s Day was not meant to be reduced to gifts, offers, and commercial gestures. Let us celebrate mothers, but commercialize these days less, and ask which rights are still denied and why accountability is missing.

Corporate capture has a new address: the United Nations, Canada.

An open letter was sent to the leadership of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health. The demand is simple: end your partnership with Nestlé immediately. https://t.co/p06Z7Gzycf

[Roger Mathisen @MathisenRoger]

Vietnam will fine individuals up to $760 and institutions up to $1,520 for promoting breastmilk substitutes under Decree 90/2026/ND-CP. The Decree also restrict formula marketing to pregnant women and new mothers in and around healthcare settings.

The most valuable support I received did not come from manuals or frameworks alone. It came from a network of colleagues and partners who had already been through similar processes. Great to see this kind of support now being intentional, accessible, and collective @MantisMentor

[Mantis Mentor @MantisMentor]

Responsible innovation begins with real human needs and strong public systems. Through this partnership, we aim to translate trusted guidance into practical solutions that uphold rights, support mothers and families, and help young children thrive.

[Mantis Mentor @MantisMentor]

Momby and Mantis Mentor announce a new strategic partnership to advance responsible digital solutions for mothers and children and strengthen early childhood systems. https://t.co/r4HbxtyF2z

[Roger Mathisen @MathisenRoger]

Strategic mentorship for social change isn’t a slogan for me. It’s lived experience.

From UN policy work to co-founding @MantisMentor, progress came from people who’d been there before—sharing perspective, tools, and questions.

Only British citizens or UK residents can sign this petition. I’ll use my right to ask a question:

How were these changes to policy and practice on de-sexed language implemented without formal evidence review by the UK What Works Network? @WhatWorksUK

This contradicts the UK’s commitment to evidence-informed policymaking. @WhatWorksUK
