Whoever coined the term ‘sleeping like a baby’ has not actually slept next to a baby.

Watching golf is a good reminder of the importance of reapplying sunscreen.

In the state of Florida, women will soon be unable to seek an abortion after only six weeks of pregnancy.

And yet, just about anyone can carry a concealed and LOADED firearm in public without a permit or training.

This ain’t about ‘protecting life’.

It’s about controlling women.

@BuildUpRDNs @MichelleCardel @theformulamom @TeganMedico @Nutrition_King @HayleyNICU_RD Makes sense. Just about every IBCLC I know in the hospital setting recommends against them.

[Christy Figueredo, MS, RD, CSP, LDN @pedi_rd]

@BuildUpRDNs 😳 I hope these don’t go through.

[Christy Figueredo, MS, RD, CSP, LDN @pedi_rd]

@TeganMedico Congratulations! You’re work is an inspiration for many!

@BuildUpRDNs @theformulamom @thatnursemom @TeganMedico @hbottemiller @meredithllee @DrCaliff_FDA @US_FDA @HHS_Health @ayesharascoe @ReporterGoodman I would say rather slim pickings if the family uses WIC. FL is a Mead Johnson account and didn’t extend the waivers. Most of the options are for Similac at this store.

Another Recall. Gerber Good Start SoothePro, multiple lots, 3 sizes. What a way to celebrate the 13 month anniversary of the Sturgis Abbott Recall and Shutdown. @thatnursemom @thepedipals @theformulamom @BuildUpRDNs @DrCaliff_FDA @bmarler @stableisotope

6 food elimination diet not superior to single food (milk) elimination in EoE!

Pepticate now available through FL WIC! First EU extensively hydrolyzed formula to be approved. Providing greater options for WIC parents. Not affected by expiring wavers! #WIC #infantformula

This would be huge! Fingers crossed the changes go through and seamlessly.

[National WIC Association @NatWICAssoc]

📢Today, @USDANutrition announced proposed changes to allow online shopping in #WIC! This is a critical change for modernization of the WIC program. (THREAD🧵

@BuildUpRDNs @HayleyNICU_RD @TeganMedico The federal government is rolling back the waivers and the state of Florida is implanting this transition as of 2/24. This is happening nationwide. This only applies to children/infants on standard milk-based formulas and does not impact hypoallergenic or specialized formulas

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

There is something morally wrong with our leaders touting how strong our economy is and how bright our future as a nation is while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck & our life expectancy continues to drop.

It’s gaslighting on a monumental scale.

[Christy Figueredo, MS, RD, CSP, LDN @pedi_rd]

@LifeWithoutDiet I report to the director of the pedi GI department. I don’t work with any other dietitians which has pros and cons. Wouldn’t have been good just starting out. But I do feel more respected, valued, able to work more on projects and a part of the team.

[U.S. FDA @US_FDA]

Today we announced draft guidance for industry on action levels for lead in processed foods that are intended for babies and children under 2 years of age, to help reduce potential health effects in this vulnerable population from dietary exposure to lead. https://t.co/XjDF76QW3S

Should we really be calling patients “non-compliant” when they get scheduled for 20 minute visits?

[Steve Schlafman @schlaf]

We’re without childcare this week.

I can’t think of a bigger blocker of productivity and advancement for families and workers.

If you believe in equality then you have to believe in better childcare benefits from employers and the government.
