The Breastfeeding Festival Milton Keynes

[The Breastfeeding Festival Milton Keynes @breastfestmk]

Can’t wait for tomorrow... I’m sorry I’ve not kept you all updated but my phone has decided it can no longer hold battery life so head on over to facebook for all the latest updates from Jo x #breastfestmk #breastfeedingfestival #breastfeedingsupport #facebook

[Bf Twins Triplets UK @BfTwinsUK]

Anyone who is about to start, or has just started, their breastfeeding journey, just know that the human body is an amazing thing. Don't believe anyone that tells you you can't breastfeed twins. You can and there are a hell of a lot of other mums out there ready to support you!

[Maternity:MK @maternitymk]

At our PNC events parents said, "PNCs r hard 2 get 2, cost us £ and we don't get 2 see our own midwives"... @MKHospital have removed weekday postnatal clinics so that women can have more care in their own home and get better continuity #WorkingTogether improving #MatExp and care

[ABM @AssocBfMothers]

Research has shown that a supportive partner is crucial in making breastfeeding successful. Don't underestimate your own importance.

Did you know that the WHO #Code covers more than infant formula? It seeks to prevent unscrupulous marketing & claims about ALL breastmilk substitutes, including follow on formulas & any other foods/ drinks, plus bottles & teats, intended for babies & children up to 3yo!

NEW BLOG: Continuing from my talk at the @breastfestmk , it's essential we join the dots between breastfeeding in the UK and conversations about body positivity and body image: https://t.co/XhiHzvHSsb

Are you all following the @NHSMillion twitter account? Let’s get them to 1m.
Strength in numbers etc.

[Marni Basto @DrMarniqueB]

Breastfeeding at a conference is a basic human right. Refusing entry with a newborn is discriminatory to female surgeons trying to maintain their skills, milk supply and babies health #ERUS19 @Uroweb you should not be forced to choose #ILookLikeASurgeon #ilooklikeaurologist

[The Breastfeeding Festival Milton Keynes @breastfestmk]

@makesmilk Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are so glad you enjoyed your time here and the other speakers too. Thank you so much for joining us 😁

Just in case you’re missing our faces, here’s a very tired (but happy!) committee leaving the Academic Centre, laden with festival ‘stuff’, some lost property (we’ll post about this in the next few days), scones, marshmallows and brilliant mementoes from the *best* two days!
🤱🏽🥰

[1-2-1 Doula @121breastfeedin]

Today I was in Milton Keynes at #breastfestmk where I did a presentation speaking about breastfeeding in the black community. 😊

There was a good selection of speakers and J’Nel Metherell IBCLC (event coordinator)… https://t.co/R2Y8rZQk2X

So my daughter has started a new school where PE is now called ‘SpEx’ (sport and exercise). I get to sing, “Let’s talk about SpEx, baby!” when discussing which kit she needs. This can surely be the only reason for such a name change.

[Maternity:MK @maternitymk]

What are you looking forward to most about the festival?

🎟There are still a few tickets left for each day. You can purchase them here: https://t.co/qbGlema0ja

[Breastfeeding Berks @BfBerkshire]

Thinking about breastfeeding grief today, and I think the worst of it was that no-one ever spoke about it. Everything suggested that stopping breastfeeding would solve all my worries, so then when stopping made everything worse I had never felt so alone. https://t.co/iRuDNTKW4R

[The Breastfeeding Festival Milton Keynes @breastfestmk]

We often hear people say they don’t see aggressive marketing of infant formula milk but that just means it’s doing a good job of influencing people without them realising, this is why the WHO code exists & is in place to help protect all families against this marketing tactic

[Charlotte @themilkrebel]

I googled @babymilkaction to obtain a link to their Nestlé boycott info and look at the top sponsored ad. Aggressive marketing at its best. #itsonlyablogthough 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[ABM @AssocBfMothers]

Expecting twins? Not sure if it's possible to breastfeed two?
