Every newborn has the right to early initiation of BF and exclusive BF during hospital stay. Mother should be well-informed.

[BPNI @bpniindia]

Step 1 of @WHO 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding emphasizes establishing a written breastfeeding policy that is communicated to all staff. This is crucial for promoting and supporting breastfeeding practices in healthcare settings!

When you have overwhelming scientific evidence this underlines the need to 1) regulate marketing and ban any discounts, advertisements and social media promotions. 2) Rather add high GST. 3) Warn people on the front of the pack about the UPF is unhealthy in nature.

[Gitashree Phukan @gitashreephukan]

Think about it before using.

[Alex @Alex_D_Avocado]

The Ultra Processed Food (UPF) industry IS the same as big tobacco @MagdaSzubanski The uncomfortable truth is this includes the ultra processed milk powder called infant formula. It’s classified UPF-4, the MOST processed. This is fed EXCLUSIVELY to babies. Think about that impact

[Dr. Arun Gupta MD FIAP (Ped) @Moveribfan]

Ultra processed food product (UPF) is massively and deceptively advertised today in @timesofindia It is harmful by its nature of processing and sugar content /100gm. On top of it, there are 4 advertisements in TOI , and are misleading @cadburysilk @fssaiindia @MoHFW_INDIA
