@firstdirecthelp I’ve banked with you for years. More recently I turned one of my accounts with you into a joint account with my husband. Now my account name has changed to HIS name first in CAPITAL LETTERS & mine after in lower case. This is derogatory, sexist & inappropriate!

A statement for labour and for lockdown life!

This week we're remembering all the babies who have left us too soon. Let's not allow baby loss to remain a taboo subject. Let people know you're there to talk!

Fascinating discussion on @theJeremyVine show about #spinabifida & performing surgery in the womb! Our #NHS is incredible.

Postpartum psychosis is a rare event for a midwife to see -if you have doubts about a woman’s mental health tell someone- Midwives receive excellent training that helps us to understand, recognise & report - your knowledge and experience will help women & babies #mothersontheedge

The safest mattresses for your baby are firm and flat and protected by a waterproof cover.

That question, “Is he a good baby?” Don’t we all love it? I was once asked that about my son. He was in a sling on my back at about 13 months. I replied, “Well, he could be smoking crack back there and I wouldn’t necessarily know. You tell me.” Blank expression.

Shocking to hear in Dispatches programme that HVs & midwives are recommending particular milks which are more expensive. I do daily battle with mums being misold formula in the mistaken belief that specialist milks are better for their baby.

[Expecting Classes @expecting_]

Anyone just see the @C4Dispatches programme about formula companies? Thoughts? We explain a lot of what was said in our classes. #midwife #antenatalclasses

@C4Dispatches It’s not just formula. We’ve just experienced an nhs study day about helping pregnant women stop smoking & half of it was presented by a vaping rep trying to push his brand!

Interesting documentary

[Channel 4 Dispatches @C4Dispatches]

I’ve got no idea which formula to use. There doesn’t seem to be much guidance, there’s just hundreds and hundreds of different brands.

All the single ladies, all the single ladies 💃

Are you a single mum or the daughter of a single mum? If so let us know as we're on the lookout for an upcoming campaign...

[Expecting Classes @expecting_]

Amazing!

[The Lullaby Trust @LullabyTrust]

Whether you plan to share a bed with your baby or it happens unintentionally, it’s important to make your bed safe for your baby.

We’ve created this brand new animation to show how to make sharing a bed with your baby as safe as possible. #safersleepweek

@Fred_Delicious As midwives we come across some “interesting” names...Gizmo perhaps being the worst!

[The Lullaby Trust @LullabyTrust]

You should always place your baby on their back to sleep. However, if they've learnt to roll and you find them on their front or side, don’t panic!

One from the archives about the Everything Myth. True productivity is not about doing everything. It’s separating the worry from the work, and the fake work from the real work. More here: https://t.co/VFyG2TUwHD  #productivity #worklifebalance
