We note with sadness that maternal suicide remains the leading cause of direct deaths occurring within a year after the end of pregnancy. The devastating social and racial inequalities remain and concerted action is needed to end these disparities.
Today the latest @mbrrace report on maternal deaths has been published. The report announces the latest statistics on mothers' deaths during the period 2016-2018.

Reflux looks like a ‘full feed’ when it rarely is.
20mls of spilt milk next to U.K. 5p, Euro, U.S quarter.
5mls & 10mls next to U.K 20p.

Does an IBCLC with a black granite workshop even have a choice?

On #IWD2020 remember: #breastfeeding is a feminist issue. It is a women's rights issue.
Breastfeeding is a reproductive right, and part of a woman's right to autonomy over her own body.
And it is a right that has been stolen by society's refusal to support breastfeeding.
The BMJ and our sister journals will no longer carry ads for breastmilk substitutes. "Decisions on when and how to use infant formula are best informed by sources of unbiased evidence" say @fgodlee@rebeccacoombes@sophiecook80@emadelomar@bmj_company https://t.co/1Mdn6QC9YJ
