Absolutely brilliant podcast with @beccasteinfeld on why we need a new, pro-choice, woman-centred, evidence-based approach to infant feeding, and how current policy sets women up to fail. 🎧 cc @CPCS_UniKent https://t.co/MH4gjYQkqE

The Trump/paracetamol/autism travesty, coming from the man who rolled back abortion, is a reminder reproductive rights are not just about ending a pregnancy. They also mean women having evidence based information, not falsehoods, to make their own choices about their own bodies.

Can't help feeling 'deny women pain relief during labour' isn't the solution the coroner seems to think it is - in fact it's the choice the unit already made when criticised in a 2022 inspection because they didn't have adequate staff to provide care for women using analgesia

Absolutely historic. Congratulations to all those who campaigned so hard to make this happen. 🎉🎉🎉

If only people could see the number of women who come to us with permanent harm either to mother or baby as a result of traumatic vaginal birth or emergency c-section, perhaps more would ask for planned c-section.

Up to 30,000 women a year experience birth trauma in the UK, but most suffer in silence. After a traumatic birth and emergency surgery, then MP @theodoraclarke broke that silence in Parliament. 📚In Breaking the Taboo, she shares her story and calls for urgent change in how we

NEW REPORT - HOT OF THE PRESS!  With @gettheldown we asked women 'Is current NHS infant feeding policy working for you?' Over 830 women shared their experiences & the clear response is NO! 👉 https://t.co/geKHxKrzd7 #SetUpToFail #BetterThanBFI  #bottlesboobsortubes #teamfeed

We're off to Downing Street soon with our #FormulaForChange petition urging the Govt to give retailers the green light to accept loyalty points, grocery vouchers, & store gift cards as payment for infant formula. Sign & share to give us a final boost! 🙏 https://t.co/eLGodaAeaL

The problem remains though that the clinically unnecessary consultation with a pharmacist is a barrier to access, puts women off, wastes time and money. The morning after pill should be sold straight from the shelf - it’s extremely safe.

So pleased to see @Morrisons now accept loyalty points for the purchase of infant formula following the @feedukorg campaign and @CMAgovUK recommendations. Hoping to see others follow in ditching a daft rule that punishes parents and stigmatises choices. https://t.co/xQCNziJuEE

The closure of the maternity unit highlighted on @BBCr4today right now raises so many issues about how we provide good reproductive healthcare across the lifetime - contraception, abortion, birth - to a generation of women having children later, if at all.

1/3 Absolutely honoured+++ to have had the HUGE privilege to share my life story to music on @BBCRadio4 Desert Island Discs. I was so surprised to be asked to be a part of this programme, that I had to triple check that they had asked the right Donna Ockenden!!!

This is an amazing play. It was startling though that it was stopped twice last night in the abortion scene because audience members fainted. Abortion today is not like in the play, yet blood and pain remain standard parts of women’s reproductive experiences. But still hidden.

My son Charlie was born with a severe learning disability. For 12 years we never knew what was wrong…..then we got a phone call out of the blue…. Today I’ve written about the amazing scientific discovery that changed our life https://t.co/URegR0Cpcg

The bust of Sir Winston Churchill sits in Trump's Oval Office. He was an immensely brave leader who visited Washington, dressed in fatigues, seeking support against a despot. We all know what he would have made of today's unedifying spectacle and whose side he would have been on.

Dear Volodymyr @zelenskyyua, we stand with #Ukraine in good and in testing times. We must never confuse aggressor and victim in this terrible war. (FM)

If you’ve been into Food Warehouse, or clicked on @IcelandFoods website to buy #infantformula recently, you might have spotted these! They’re new shelf labels that Feed & @icelandrichard are piloting, to share government & public health info on formula with the aim of…. 🧵 (1/)

When the wee lassie from Ayrshire went to Parliament to fight for women & families! I am so proud of what @RosieMcnee @clareemurph @KatMayRomero @Claiester & I have achieved & am confident @feedukorg will bring about lasting change for families #FormulaForChange

A good day for infant feeding choices. Great to speak to @itvnews about ending patronising and punitive rules preventing families using points to buy formula, and thrilled @feedukorg is bringing better information on formula to families with @IcelandFoods https://t.co/Y9lvjGrzl0
