Wet nursing can be life saving, especially in disasters.

'Dr. Attiah, who also has a baby daughter, told AP: 'Until her distant family return, I'm treating her like one of my own....For now, his wife is breastfeeding her alongside their own daughter'

@dietitians_CEO @dietitiansaus @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP And given the latest from the @WHO @TheLancet Series on Breastfeeding, we need changes in government policy and we need a Nation Nutrition Policy to #protectbreastfeeding. We can do better!

Having a baby, adds 40-48 hours of additional unpaid work per week to care for infant.

And breastfeeding took 18 hours per week.

Have you ever considered the behind-the-scenes decision-making processes that affect what you feed your infant? #ProtectBreastfeeding @JuliePSmith1 @PhilBakerNZ @TheLancet

[Lana Hirth APD @lanahirth]

Every year, the world loses around 21.9 billion litres of breastmilk because governments fail to invest in support for women to keep breastfeeding.

A call for more to be done to #protectbreastfeeding

[PMNCH @PMNCH]

Breastfeeding is undervalued by governments and public health, while the commercial milk formula industry exploits the vulnerabilities of women and families.

A new @TheLancet Series issues an urgent call to #ProtectBreastfeeding: https://t.co/b0Cx3UxL8N

[Lana Hirth APD @lanahirth]

Commercial milk formula companies are not just marketing the product, but selling the possibility of sleep.

Preying on vulnerable, exhausted and desperate parents. #protectbreastfeeding @PhilBakerNZ

[Lana Hirth APD @lanahirth]

@Lisa_H_Amir @PhilBakerNZ Part of normalising breastfeeding, is normalising infant behaviour itself.

[Lana Hirth APD @lanahirth]

45% of mothers globally have self-reported insufficient milk supply and the research shows support and counselling are effect strategies to improve supply @PhilBakerNZ #protectbreastfeeding

Two things are true:

1.Every new mum should take a postnatal supplement.

2. The perfect postnatal supplement doesn't exist.

Just remember this:
