Join me in conversation with @MollytheMidwife on the biomechanics of birth.
We also discuss the challenges midwives and doulas face in advocating for physiological birth and the need for evidence-based information for women.

It's Black Maternal Health Awareness Week. Raising awareness of Black maternal health is crucial due to the significant racial disparities in maternal mortality and complications. Systemic barriers, discrimination, and underlying health issues disproportionately impact Black women's access to quality care and pregnancy outcomes. Increased awareness empowers Black mothers to advocate for their health, fosters community support, and ultimately aims to eliminate racial disparities and save lives. #BMHAW24 #BlackMaternalHealth

"This book clearly lays out the barriers facing Black families, but it also offers solutions. I think every professional who works with parents and babies of any color should read this book."

[Action on Postpartum Psychosis @ActionOnPP]

Could you display a poster about the signs and symptoms of postpartum psychosis where you work or in your community?

Perhaps you work at a clinic parents-to-be visit? Or, could take a poster to one near you?

The Guardian's latest article reveals disparities in maternal health for Black women in England, who face up to 6x higher risks of severe birth complications.
So here's @MotherhoodGroup takeaways:
- Address root causes of health inequalities
- Confront bias in healthcare
- Government action needed
- Build trust in marginalised communities
- £10M NHS investment to tackle inequalities

Remember, your attention is a gateway to your mental health. Your attention is yours to give, not for others to take. Normalise being highly selective about who has access to your attention.

Dr Newman taught me that the birthing parent’s breastmilk changes based on gestation at birth. Can also allow milk to separate & use cream as fortifier - no formula needed… #NEClawsuit https://t.co/TE77o7SYRP

Reminder how good breastfeeding is for a Mum’s health too https://t.co/RTNUKeAHxO in fact life saving @gedkearney @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP save the Mothers ��🏻🤱🏿

[Breastfeeding Doulas (TM) @TheBFDoula]

@advocacybaa Dr Newman always says “the baby can’t learn to breastfeed without actually breastfeeding”. This is why we use the supplemental nursing type system. It’s easy and inexpensive- feeding tube, one end in baby’s mouth, other end in a bottle of breast milk/supplement. #sns

Such an important message: Equal resources don't mean equal outcomes. So go beyond one-size-fits-all in your #HealthLit materials, says @CommunicateHlth: https://t.co/8QHuuMdooS #HealthDisparities #HealthEquity

[Breastfeeding Advocacy Australia (BAA) @advocacybaa]

#NICU Women can breastfeed and have milk. The problem is NOT lack of MOM rather the way they are treated in NICU. If you use 🦘care, hand expression, have team member assisting Mothers then you have ….MILK.
Fix the structures nothing wrong with the breasts

@boobingit @afif_elKhuffash Please contact or read the information Dr. Jack Newman provides for free, in many different languages. He STONGLY disagrees with this…

“There isn’t a single challenge we are facing worldwide where breastfeeding doesn’t matter.” Breastfeeding helps with climate change, food insecurity, inequalities, antibiotic resistance…
Quite simply, breastfeeding matters. @babyfriendly
