Maternity protection entitlements, lactation rooms, and paid breaks for #breastfeeding are essential supports governments and workplaces can provide to help mothers breastfeed their babies. This #WBW2024, let’s hope for more inclusive policies for all moms and babies.

“There isn’t a single challenge we are facing worldwide where breastfeeding doesn’t matter.” Breastfeeding helps with climate change, food insecurity, inequalities, antibiotic resistance… Quite simply, breastfeeding matters. @babyfriendly

“It's shocking to see how little focus has gone into the feeding of babies. There's never been a focus on feeding at-risk babies and that extends all the way back to funders and governments. It's a flaw in the global health structure” @PATHtweets thelancet.com/journals/lance…

How many examples are required to show that the Tories represent the worst of us. What spiteful pointless action to take. There is nobody in France deciding not to get in a boat because Mickey Mouse is not on the wall. Displaced children deserve compassion and we deserve a better government

WTF Home Office!! Robert Jenrick(Immigration Minister) has had Mickey Mouse & other cartoon characters, inside an asylum center for children in Dover, painted over because he thought it sent to welcoming a message. #BBCBreakfast
