Happy Holidays to all our members and supporters. Life isn't always easy and neither is #breastfeeding but supporting you is our pleasure. One day you will look back on this time and won't believe it was over so quickly. Wishing you a peaceful festive period with lots of love.

Huge Congrats 2 our GP colleague @NaomiDow8 of @SaveTimeProtec1 now also qualified as a Lactation Consultant with IBCLC 🥳💪 She’s co-author of this great piece on breastfeeding beyond infancy @AssocBfMothers Any more GP IBCLCs or training to be out there? https://t.co/j2slsBRTOc

[Rebecca Clements @DoctormumBec]

There are amazing 3rd sector organisations doing incredible work supporting breastfeeding but the NHS should be funding this support as human lactation is vital for optimal infant and maternal outcomes @AssocBfMothers @LLLGB @BfN_UK @BambisLiverpool @milkymedics @heartsmilkbank

Saw this in a textbook this week. Tell this to someone with a 20cm areola taking up most of the width of the breast & you’ll create a confused and unhappy situation. Talking about more of a mouthful below the nipple than above may be useful but not all anatomy is the same. Obvs.

[Dr Lyndsey Hookway @FeedSleepBond]

Lactation advocates like me are not anti formula or those who use it whatever the media might have you believe 🙄. But this is predatory and inaccurate marketing which is misleading. Not ok (thread) @tommeetippee_UK @babymilkaction @Prof_AmyBrown @babyfriendly

Quoting NICE @ClareMacdon says make face-to-face breastfeeding support integral to the standard postnatal contacts for women who breastfeed. More from our breastfeeding info series #bf4docs @GP_IFN @RCObsGyn @NICEComms @MidwivesRCM @theRCN @ICGPnews

If you want guilt free biscuits that "may" help lactation... Please don't spend £17.50 I promise you that a £1 pack of chocolate covered oat biscuits will do the job of keeping the hanger at bay during a midnight feed! Eat biscuits to enjoy them, not to break your bank balance!

Suggesting or sourcing donor human milk for low birth weight infants is one way doctors can support #breastfeeding and infant health says @DrNShenker #BreastfeedingCelebrationWeek #bf4docs @RCEMLearning @DFTBubbles @rcgp @MidwivesRCM @rcpch_trainees @RCollEM @PHE_uk @PHE_Children

[Breastfeeding For Doctors @milkymedics]

It can be possible to #breastfeed through or after breast cancer says @DrJusticeReilly, doctors can provide huge support in this area by listening to patients #bf4docs #BreastfeedingCelebrationWeek @RCSnews @RCSEd @surgeonsnews @RCSI_Irl @theRCN @ACPUK @oncologynursing

Most medications are safe in breastfeeding says @drellendean. As doctors we can support breastfeeding dyads by checking good quality evidence based resources when prescribing #BreastfeedingCelebrationWeek #bf4docs

#breastfeeding health benefits for mothers and children apply to ALL nations says @theDorsetPHreg it is important that this is considered in policy and patient care in the UK @PHE_uk @RCollEM @RCPhysicians @rcgp @RCPCHtweets #bf4docs #BreastfeedingCelebrationWeek

[Dr Natalie Shenker MBE @DrNShenker]

Nice summary of the reassuring data on vaccination during breastfeeding in @Nature - vaccine components do not pass into milk, but antibodies that may offer protection to the infant do (in 100% of vaccinated women studied).
