@SBreward These toddler formulas are not only nutritionally unnecessary & unhealthy but also harmful to the environment & responsible for half the #greenhousegas emissions by these processed dairy products. Support mums not industry profits @tanya_plibersek #auspol

@talkJenny @TheDoulaElement @MidwivesRCM @Siobhan_Baillie I know a lot of doulas, and none that want to be employed.A doula started the campaign,more doulas gathered momentum then Midwives have directed the goals alongside doulas.The role of doula and midwife are not interchangeable?The campaign has clear midwifery driven goals.

“When the sling is magic (& parents might get a nap or shower whilst I'm wearing a baby!). Did you know there are people you can call to get support with your sling or carrier? @emmamason14 can support you locally for home visits & Zoom meetings. Repost Nikki @thedoulaelement

Thank you to @Siobhan_Baillie for not only raising several vital points regarding the midwifery workforce in last night’s debate but also discussing the disparity in maternal mortality rates between women from Black and Asian ethnic groups and White women @mbrrace.

Mum: I’ll seek private services then GP: makes phone call to baby’s father to express concern over mother’s mental health Dad - takes baby to GP Referral to gastro immediately made. Gaslighting is still a major hurdle mother’s face - not ok!

Mum: I know I’ve been a lot, but I’m still really concerned about my baby’s feeding and reflux symptoms. I’d like a referral to someone who can assess for tongue tie. GP: Your baby’s mouth is fine. I think a referral for mental health support for your may be more beneficial

2/2 @ScanComputers have told us nothing to do with them. @ASUSUK want details that are only available by turning the laptop on - impossible. And have not kept up to date with email thread meaning miscommunication throughout

1/2 Months of back and forth emails to @ASUSUK and @ScanComputers about a collection of a laptop for repair of a laptop which broke 13 months into owning it leaving a 14yr old without any of her coursework. This yoyo emailing is just not acceptable.
