Parents should be the ones to decide how they feed their infants, but the commercial milk formula industry’s deceptive marketing tactics often undermine that choice, says @YaleSPH prof. @rperezescamilla in our latest Lecture Series event. https://t.co/mITAKYrvc7

Great thread explaining importance of proper storage of human milk for babies.

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

I did a couple raw milk posts this week, and a frequent comment was: “if babies can drink raw milk, why can’t adults?”

It shouldn’t need to be said but:

Human mothers are NOT cows. Human milk is NOT the same as cow milk.

NEVER give a human baby “raw” cow milk.

“Even at a young age, I found pregnancy interesting, and I love that as midwives, we’re empowering women to make choices about their body and the care they receive.”

Tonight, I am lighting a candle,for the 116 children & 28 adults who all died Oct 21 1966,when a coal tip,that had grown to 34m high engulfed Pantglas junior school in Aberfan,Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 RIP the whole generation of children lost from Aberfan. Always remembered

[Toria_RMW @rmw_toria]

Absolutely! How we practise should always be backed up by reliable, solid evidence! To do things one way because that "is how it's done" is not only incredibly narrow minded, but it invites disaster.
