Panel member Libby Salmon @Govern4Health argues that #breastfeeding is #FoodSecurity for infants & young children
Shocking to hear that current inquiry into food security rejected their submission abt breastfeeding!

Not just parents, we are all targets for commercial milk formula companies @PhilBakerNZ #ProtectBreastfeeding

[Lisa Amir @Lisa_H_Amir]

How lack of familiarity with normal infant behaviour is used by commercial milk formula companies to market their products to families @PhilBakerNZ #ProtectBreastfeeding

[Anna Gruending @AnnaGruending]

New @TheLancet series on #breastfeeding pulls back curtain on power & influence of formula companies, who lobbied behind the scenes for the US to defund @WHO, even in the midst of the pandemic. Constantly putting profit before public health = shameful #EndExploitativeMarketing

@9NewsAUS Heartbreaking tragedy 💔 a miracle survival

[Karleen Gribble @DrKarleenG]

@Heather_pw Thank you. We need to ensure a better response to the next infectious disease outbreak.

[Karleen Gribble @DrKarleenG]

6/ Caring for infants in a nursery, separating them from mothers, disturbs maternal attachment development. For vulnerable mothers, nursery care has been found to increase rates of maltreatment and child protection involvement and be associated with higher rates of abandonment.

[Karleen Gribble @DrKarleenG]

5/ Fewer breastfeeds in the first days of life is associated with increased breastfeeding problems, delayed lactogenesis II and reduced exclusive breastfeeding rates.

[Karleen Gribble @DrKarleenG]

4/ Keeping mothers and infants at a distance within a room makes it more difficult for infant feeding cues to be seen and makes it physically harder for women to breastfeed, especially if they have had a caesarean reducing breastfeeding frequency.
