@MeghanAzad Love this. I remember teaching this in infant feeding classes and saying we’re not sure why it reduces the risk of osteoporosis but the theory is….
Now we can add to this “the research shows…”🥰

Anyone wondered why infant formula is so expensive? Parents are subsidising these events.

Dear @RCObsGyn
I was on a call last night with clinicians in Gaza. ~ 150-170 women give birth/ day in Gaza, most of whom have now zero access to even most basic maternity care. Some are using what limited internet connectivity they have to learn what to do when labour starts.

[Gemma @gem0705]

@AvaSantina Also @GBNEWS how could you possibly allow this to air? Would you allow someone to come and be openly racist or homophobic? Why is it acceptable to allow a “little” man to be misogynistic on tv? I think Ava deserves an official apology.

[Gemma @gem0705]

@AvaSantina Well lucky you Ava. What a result if he walked away from you in a bar and you didn’t have to tell him where to go. Disgusting man!

If someone you love suffered a #CardiacArrest would you know what to do?

Olivia and mum Patricia showed incredible bravery when Patricia's partner Geraldo went into cardiac arrest, calling 999 & following CPR instructions that helped to save his life.

Listen back to the call ⬇️

Useful guidance from UNICEF about how we advocate for families during this time of cost of living crisis.

[Man vs Baby @mattcoyney]

Whatever we might think about a 60 yr old allegedly paying for explicit photos of a teenager… can we at least all agree that we’ll take no moral lessons from a newspaper that, on a daily basis, paid 16-year-olds for explicit photos to share with 3 million people.
