I hope there will be someone in the new Parliament who will pick up the work of @appgifi and advocate for infant feeding. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with wonderful, committed people in the infant feeding world over the past nine years.

Incredible women at the ❤️ of the polio program. Thanks to their tireless efforts we will protect every child and #MakePolioHistory.

Today so far I have seen 2 antenatal mums having their baby early, supported a family post cardiac surgery, picked up some donor milk, recruited a new milk donor for @MilkBankScot, seen a mum @HUGrhc and sorted breast pumps…a busy day as a neonatal IFA in @NHSGGC @redfernjam

Delighted to see both of these completed and available. Thanks to everyone who contributed to them including NeonSIFAN, @MilkBankScot @kread85, our ICP leads and neonatologists. @KazzaCarolyn @redfernjam https://t.co/xXnD2W5s0P

Does extremely early expression of colostrum after very preterm birth improve mother’s own milk quantity? Answer is YES! So get your perinatal systems geared to support expressing within 6hrs ⁦@peri_prem⁩ ⁦@BAPM_Official⁩ ⁦⁦

Organisers of the British Journal of Midwifery’s annual conference, which is set to take place in March, have been criticised for accepting sponsorship from formula milk companies, something that the World Health Organisation advises against https://t.co/yl4IBmbnwN

It costs about $5 to make a $40 tin of powdered jnfant formula. The rest goes on marketing, lobbying, and profit to shareholders #EndExploitativeMarketing to enable women to continue #breastfeeding

Still time to register for tomorrows webinar. Good news is it will be recorded and can be watched any time. Come and join the chat about supporting feeding post discharge from the NNU @HUGrhc @PRM_NEO_Team @neonatalrah @ndzitina @redfernjam

Join our #PERIPrem share & learn session on 6 February! @SarahBates18 will lead a discussion on Early Breast Milk & we'll hear from colleagues across the South West about the work they're doing to improve their rates. https://t.co/UvHTDQSoFW @HealthInnoWest @HealthInSW

@LittleDoctorVic @lizmayessex @DoctorChrisVT @APPGIFI It wasn’t the first adjective that sprang to mind …. though was actually speechless at first! Legal loophole… but if anyone fancies it this is ripe for a complaint to @IpsoNews

📢 Powdered Infant #Formula is NOT sterile. To ⬇️ the risk of potentially deadly bacterial infection, parents need to be aware of the @NHSuk guidance on making up formula. Two babies infected with rare bacteria sometimes found in powdered infant formula

This is a VERY dubious article. 1. All first infant formula are nutritionally equivalent-simply buy the cheapest 2. Think your baby has a medical condition-seek medical advice "These 4 baby formulas are best, according to experts" https://t.co/uGdhwfDljh @DoctorChrisVT @APPGIFI

Unbelievable! How is the Daily Mail showed to publish this?! “Nutritional content: ‘Look for formulas that contain essential nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals’” 😂 @1stepsnutrition agree. Buy the cheapest.

Filming today @HUGrhc for our feeding your baby on the neonatal unit website. @pinkcomet321 and @RosieHep taking it for the team. Watch this space for video 1-the importance of breastmilk for babies in the NNU @GlasgowBFB @NHSGGC thanks to the team from med ill for their patience
