'Experts call for an end to the exploitative marketing used by the baby formula milk industry'

Combining research and recommendations, a new Lancet Series highlights the overlooked value of #breastfeeding: https://t.co/fdLqxytUVp

[paulabonnes @paulabonnes1]

@TheLancet @WHO @YaleSPH @UIB_Oficial @UNUniversity @rperezescamilla @sonialhc Women need a consistent level of support to effectively initiate and maintain breastfeeding during the early days following birth. Midwifery care is vital to support women to breastfeed. Postnatal care has been undermined by health care policy makers for decades. #MCoC

[Stronger From The Start Alliance @SFTS_NI]

The most terrifying thing about this statistic is that mums told @WRDA_team @ActionOnPP they didn't know we had no Mother & Baby Unit in NI, until they needed it themselves.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay
It's time to deliver an MBU @RobinSwannMoH @healthdpt
