@BrandonLewis, please release the police files regarding Noah Donohoe's death and bring #JusticeForNoah. We deserve to know the truth.

Happy Black Breastfeeding Week!
This week we are reclaiming rest as our right & our revolution while honoring breast/body feeding as an important pause.

It's #WorldBreastfeedingWeek.
#Breastfeeding is one of the best ways to ensure a child's health & survival. But nearly 2 out of 3 infants aren't exclusively breastfed for the recommended 6 months & this rate has not improved in 2 decades. We ALL can support breastfeeding mothers:

And this is what we’re up against all the time. I sometimes despair. Very misleading and inappropriate @tommeetippee_UK

[Eithne Clarke @eithneclarke]

@FeedSleepBond @tommeetippee_UK @babyfriendly This is absolutely outrageous and shouldn’t be allowed.

[Dr Natalie Shenker MBE @DrNShenker]

Nice summary of the reassuring data on vaccination during breastfeeding in @Nature - vaccine components do not pass into milk, but antibodies that may offer protection to the infant do (in 100% of vaccinated women studied).

So there it is. Dido Harding has just applied to be the next CEO of @NHSEngland.

RT if that prospect horrifies you.
