2.56 TRILLION litres—that's the amount of water needed for commercial milk formula for 0-6 months.
With #GreenFeedingTool we can quantify water & carbon footprints of baby milk and see how breastfeeding can mitigate the impacts. Read more @FrontNutrition: https://t.co/aX38ikb2Tw

Our blog published in @CroakeyNews today. The Australian Govt. needs to do better at measuring, protecting from commercial influence, and leadership. @n_hull22 @JuliePSmith1 @jenhock13 https://t.co/0UKbRc69BN @WBTiGlobalSec

Amidst multiple global nutrition and health crises, incl obesity and NCDs, putting babies before bottom lines should be a priority in Australia and anywhere else! @JuliePSmith1 @jenhock13 @andini_pramono @WBTi_AUS @WBTiGlobalSec @CroakeyNews

“the Australian commercial milk formula industry has engaged in heavy lobbying of Australian government officials and received Commonwealth government funding for marketing into low and middle countries in South-East Asia. Our neighbouring countries are forced to utilise valuable resources to regulate marketing of commercial milk formula in their countries to protect their population from Australian exports.”

What on earth are health professionals -pediatricians! doing endorsing toddler milk products? ‘Category entry points’ for marketers. WHO is clear these are not needed & not healthy! #endexploitativemarketing #bmscode ⁦@acccgovau⁩ #breastfeeding #Canberra #auspol

#WorldBreastfeedingWeek starts today!

Women shouldn’t require superpowers to juggle breastfeeding and work.

All moms everywhere, no matter their work or contract type, should have:
🧸 At least 18 weeks, preferably 6 months or more, of paid maternity leave
🧸 Paid time off for breastfeeding or expressing milk upon returning to work
🧸 Flexible return-to-work options

Let’s make breastfeeding and work, work!

"“Breastfeeding is a collective responsibility that requires supportive policies and a society that prioritizes the health and well-being of mothers and their children, rather than undervaluing or undermining it.” - wise words from @PaulZ_Nutrition #ProtectBreastfeeding

@aliveandthrive’s own @MathisenRoger: Covid-19 guidelines on maternal and newborn care from 101 countries that were analyzed all undermined breastfeeding. Need to learn from HIV epidemic. #WBC4
