'The NHS wouldn’t tell a surgeon to stop an operation halfway through.

'A pharmacist wouldn’t hand out 40% of a course of antibiotics.

'So why is it OK for patients to be denied a full course of rehabilitation?'

@AlexBThomson @drruthannharpur People turn to private providers out of desperation - post natal NHS care needs serious improvement. It’s currently focused on safe sleep, safeguarding and weight gain - weight gain immediately post birth a bit of an oxymoron for a breastfed baby.

[Aideen Steed @SteedAideen]

@AlexBThomson @drruthannharpur many quickly say ‘you don’t have enough’not realising you have to ride the demand&embrace cluster feeds. Education and facts go out the window when your exhausted #mumof2- breastfed both til2years of age- but with my first nearly gave up@day3 due to no practical pragmatic support
