May we continue to be able to support as many families as possible through @milk_foundation, @heartsmilkbank and the Global Alliance of Milk Banks and Associations. 🙏 3/ https://humanmilkfoundation/heroes/

📢 Are you a doctor, allied healthcare professional or academic with an interest in lactation support or human milk science? What led you to dedicate yourself to these fields? Tell us your lightbulb moment and we will try to create something amazing! https://t.co/ZIalIrmpTh

No @milk_foundation Trustees meeting is complete without my dog hurdling the stair gate, jumping up on my chair and licking me full in the face while I present. Sigh.

Simply think about what you read that prompted your career choices and provide the link in the form in Tweet 1. No personal data will be kept, but if you would like to find out more, please email info@humanmilkfoundation.org with an email marked LIGHTBULB. Please RT! 🙏

We plan to make them open access through our website, and create online training resources that can explain the science of human milk and lactation to healthcare professionals, wherever they are. You can help by crowdsourcing key resources that everyone should know! 3/

Many of us entered this work after difficult personal experiences, but professionally, many of us have also had lightbulb moments after reading research papers or books. We are launching a new education project today, seeking to gather all of these key resources together. 2/

🔉New Paper! Excited to share my MSc student @Spencer_Ames1’s 1st publication with the #THRiVELab! This review in Gut Microbes (@tandfbiosci) explores how infant nutrition impacts gut #microbiome and immune system maturation...🧵 Full #OpenAccess paper: https://t.co/H62xTHZF6y

We're so sorry to ask again after we've asked so many times before. But this build has to happen, and as we all know money applied for doesn't always come through. We can always make our own luck though, and you all have never let us down. Thank you, again. #HopeAroundTheCorner

If you can gift £100 or more, we will personally come to your house and hug you. Alternatively, you can make your donation in honour of someone - your baby, family, friends. Just email a photo and text to be displayed forever in the new bank to LutonBuild@heartsmilkbank.org. /9

But given how busy they are, we are asking you to help build the next Hearts Milk Bank! If you can donate £10 into our campaign, you will literally be one of the utter heroes behind ever drop. 🤗 https://t.co/4d2l9aRmaB /8

We're keeping costs as low as possible, but need help to get the new lab space up to scratch! We need some plumbing, some electricals, some design and some building help. It's all going to cost a bit of money. 😞 Unless we get @MrNickKnowles and the @DIYSOS team involved! 🤗 7/

And this move, supported already so brilliantly by @LutonCouncil, will give the opportunity to scale services quickly, making sure every baby who needs DHM and support in hospitals can get it. It's going to be amazing. And you can be part of helping us! 6/

Milk banks are talking and working out how we can work together to meet the coming need, and next week's BAPM Spring Conference will allow those talks to continue. But our phones at @heartsmilkbank have been starting to ring more often, as we knew they would. So we planned. 5/
