@BestHomeFurn hello - we have a 1992 maple (at least I think it’s maple) glider but need new cushions. Might you have a source for them? Thanks!

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

@DrHotez still waiting: were RCTs ever done re 2 mo olds getting all these vaccines at one time? Were RCTs ever done comparing breastfed vs formula fed 2 mo olds getting all the vaccines at one time?

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

@ElisaSongMD how to help a formula fed baby be as healthy as possible? Breastfeeding has not worked for this mom - how to optimize baby’s health w less than optimal food source? What about vaccines? Have the book, don’t see this info. TIA.

Florida is recovering from one hurricane while another is on the way.

-The Republican Governor is refusing to talk with the President to coordinate hurricane relief

-All Florida Republicans in Congress voted against supplemental disaster relief money for FEMA

-82 House Republicans, including 11 from Florida, voted to shut down the government, knowing a powerful hurricane was on its way

-The Republican-controlled House took a vacation for the month of August instead of passing a budget on time, which means no new FEMA budget

-The Republican Speaker of the House is refusing to reconvene Congress from their second month-long vacation to pass emergency supplemental funds for FEMA

-The Republican presidential nominee continually lies about the federal disaster response instead of making sure his voters have the correct information to receive help

-The Republican party wants to eliminate FEMA and NOAA (the agency that monitors, tracks, and predicts the path of hurricanes)

-The Republican Party refuses to acknowledge climate change while watching insurance companies leave Florida because increasingly stronger storms are making insurance claims too expensive to operate

Florida, why do you keep voting for the party that not only does nothing for you but actively works against your best interests?

@PeterHotez were there RCTs done on the shots 2 mo old babies receive? If yes, were there RCTs done comparing breastfed vs formula fed babies receiving 2 mo shots?

These families are desperate with no resources!” GA & NC IBCLCs set up breastmilk depots, give supplies inc formula. Why are the feds giving 5 diapers & expired formula to the most vulnerable? Billions to Israel but we can’t drop ship supplies to victim of #Helene? FIX THIS!

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

@POTUS @VP @fema @ossoff @ReverendWarnock Valdosta: “we do have supply distribution sites for primarily young children and adults but very limited options for infant feeding. The one I was so excited for from our women's clinic was just the biggest let down! They literally

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

handed out a few (less than 5) single diapers in a Walmart bag with expired formula and some how this was approved for disaster relief funding?!?! And I'm hearing the same stories from the fema sites! They advertised formula and those who waited first in line there was none.

10 simple facts about North Carolina/Helene:

1. Biden declared a national emergency on Friday

2. Biden declared a major disaster on Saturday, which means survivors can already apply for FEMA funds

3. There are 5,000+ national guardsman in North Carolina

4. The U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Health and Human Services are all working throughout the region

5. Biden spoke to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) who said he got "everything he asked for" from POTUS in Georgia.

6. Gov. Roy Cooper (D) asked Biden, Harris and Trump to stay out until rescue missions were complete for obvious reasons

7. Local groups and orgs typically lead the immediate relief efforts; the feds support with $$ and additional resources but are rarely the first to respond (again, for obvious reasons)

8. FEMA & local groups are shipping in food and supplies via truck, plane, and even freaking mules!

9. FEMA search and rescue teams are on the ground and have been for days

10. This website is full of people lying about 1-9.

Amy from Springfield, Ohio sent me the following message I have permission to share:

“Ben, I am writing from Springfield, Ohio, where I was born and raised, and raised my kids. It's a little town in Clark County, Ohio that was named in honor of my ancestor George Rogers Clark, brother of William Clark from the Lewis and Clark Expedition. My little city of 59,000 people, consists mostly of blue-collar workers, day laborers, teachers, nurses, etc. We are the home of the silent film actress Lillian Gish, comedian Jonathon Winters, and of course, the great John Legend.

I never imagined seeing our town as the epicenter of so much conversation, discussion, and debate.

Seriously, I can't turn on the TV without hearing our city mentioned!
The truth is that no one steals our pets, let alone eats them. Our police department has verified this.

Our Haitian population is known to be hard workers, business owners, and good neighbors. One friend said his Haitian neighbors always smile and wave, and that you've never heard Brahm's Lullaby until you've heard sung in French to an infant by a Haitian mother.

My friend who is a construction worker at the Intel plant in Columbus said that many Haitian employees reside in Springfield (more affordable) and travel to Columbus to work...and that they are good people, hard workers, and always on time. Some are taking the opportunity to get training to further their skill set and employability.

What HAS happened in Springfield is an outpouring of xenophobia. There are protests by the Proud Boys on the corners and violent threats to our city hall, colleges, and schools. Our tiny downtown (honestly, if you blink you'll miss it!) has dealt with multiple bomb threats, causing several schools to be evacuated and closed. The college where I teach, Clark State, is going virtual this week (Sept 16-20) out of an abundance of caution. Thumbs up to our college president and other administrators for always making safety a priority.

Why?

Because of Trump's complete lie about our city (a sarcastic "thank you" also to Loomer and Vance).

As you know, Haitians are here under protective status. They are not killing and eating our cats and dogs, along with ducks and geese in Snyder Park. It has now become a running joke with an abundance of memes. But the truth is, it's sad and frightening.

Along with teaching college, I have a small Etsy business. A recent customer has been wonderfully patient as I postponed shipment because I hesitate to go downtown to the Post Office (a request of my kids who live in LA, I told them I'd find a different shipping location).

The lies from Trump and his allies are being perpetuated in the city. But fortunately, people are coming to Springfield to support our Haitian businesses!

I can only hope that this little town, which typically leans red, will wake up and see what is in store without a blue wave.”

everywhere, in every article, on every can, instruction given by every ped. And yet - not the case. You’d be doing a service by addressing this omission. #AAP #formula #bottlefeeding #newborns #newparents

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

@ChristinaSzal as an IBCLC who often works w parents who supplement, I read your recent NYT article re formula. Unfortunate you did not address safe prep of powdered formula: boil water, cool to 158F/70C, mix, cool to feed. After the number of recalls in the US, this info shd be

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

@US_FDA I’m confused. Known fact that powdered formula is never sterile & shd be mixed w water boiled then cooled to 158F/70C to mix. Then cooled to feed. Recall after recall, yet @US_FDA still not requiring these instructions on every single can. Pls explain. #formula

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

@bobbiebabyco does mixing w recommended 158 deg water harm ingredients?

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

@bobbiebabyco after multiple formula recalls due to contamination, because powder is never sterile, the safest formula mixing is to boil fresh cold water, cool to 70 deg C/158 deg F, mix w powder, cool to feed. Yet your cans & videos instruct mixing w 100 deg water. Pls explain.

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

@AmerAcadPeds why exactly are peds handing out what is basically poison for babies who need supplementation? Relative just lost 1/4 of leave dealing w sick, miserable baby (working on breastmilk supply) while feeding this formula. No wonder kids are sicker & sicker.

[Peggy Hinkle @PeggyIBCLC]

@drmarkhyman please write about the s**t that is formula. Why are we allowing newborns to drink this? Why are peds giving it at their offices? Daughter just lost 1/4 of her leave dealing w miserable baby while on this (working on milk supply). Finally better on EU type brand.
