Midwives can't provide the safe, nurturing, empowering service they want without support #marchwithmidwives

[Caroline Sawyer @csawyer87]

Putting this out there! The struggle in maternity services is real. We’re tired and on the verge of burn out! When will the government take note and give us help? #marchwithmidwives #maternity #maternitysafety

Everything that is wrong with our society. And I get asked frequently why I think the UK breastfeeding rates are so low. This 👇

Discussion on BBC breakfast about hand rearing a baby gorilla and how you have to treat them very different from human babies e.g. hold them close all the time, sleep with them, feed them when they want not by the clock. Because humans and gorillas are so different. 😂😂

[Emma Pickett @makesmilk]

The @nationaltrust is saying they no longer partner with HiPP organic baby club but ‘Little Explorers’.
a) Website says ‘Find out more about the HiPP Baby Club’. (17.45 today)
b) Little Explorers info has HiPP logo on all materials on website devoted to product promotion. [1]

@Indigomama1 @Prof_AmyBrown @DrNShenker @HelenGrayIBCLC @makesmilk 2 members here to back it

[Nutrition and Nurture @NurtureAnd]

Yes!

[Dr Natalie Shenker MBE @DrNShenker]

Just catching up and worried @nationaltrust social media team has a) been replaced by a bot or b) has repetitive strain injury. Strange old Twitter behaviour...

Anyway, the @milk_foundation would like to sponsor 51,000 trees if you change your minds.

Could this cause a loss of trust in @nationaltrust?
ESI call out irony of environmental initiative which promotes an infant formula company

[Nutrition and Nurture @NurtureAnd]

It seems like a really odd pairing for a charity which claims to have environmental impact so high amongst it's concerns.

[Nutrition and Nurture @NurtureAnd]

Dear @nationaltrust I'm really upset to see this. We have been members for a long time and love visiting your properties and supporting you. Unfortunately this will mean that ethically I won't be able to continue with you and will have to cancel our membership.
