Postnatal Hubs provide care and support for women after birth in a community setting, closer to home. We are funding 4 more Postnatal Hubs, following the positive feedback from women who accessed care in the first 5 pilot services #Budget2024Delivered

New paper alert!
UK toddlers consume 47% of their calories from UPFs and the more UPF toddlers eat the higher their intake of sodium and free sugar.

Delighted to see this from @ColmBurkeTD 👏👏👏 Funding to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding is so important for public health. Looking forward to seeing the finer details and to building on this into the future.

💶 Ireland's 2025 Budget being announced tomorrow, on the 1st day of national breastfeeding week 🤱. 🤞 for ring-fenced funding for BF support. Last week, @HSELive reported ⬆️ prevalence of BF @ 3 months (👏 @LauraMcHugh12). It'd be great to build on that momentum! @BainneBeatha

Excellent new study 👇"The cases in our study highlight how, together with a weak breastfeeding counseling system, and health professionals who lack training in breastfeeding and normal infant behavior, lead to the opportunity for CMF marketing to shape infant feeding, and ultimately to the decision to feed formulas that some mothers were not planning to use and cannot afford."

The case for Breastfeeding to be covered on the medical curriculum

First do no harm
Using infant formula to treat breastfeeding issues, due to lack of training and industries' influence, is harmful and unethical.

Bhí mé ag smaoineamh go minic ar ‘suaimhneas’ le déanach.
There was a craze for ‘hygge’ a few years ago, as a distinctly Scandinavian concept of cosy comfort, and it seems to me that suaimhneas - with connotations of rest, calm, & security - is an Irish analogue.
