In the year 2021, this misogynistic, antiquated, gendered bullshit is still being used and no one blinks an eye other than our own echo chamber of #fedisbest advocates. I can't even.

Absolutely no evidence that bfing has great benefits for trauma survivors. You’re seeing what you want to see, as is @UptySciChick !

Ever wonder why breastfeeding advocates often tell us doctors who recommend supplementation with formula are not “properly trained in breastfeeding”? Here’s your answer...
The livelihoods of many alternative medicine practitioners depend on fostering mistrust between patients and mainstream clinicians.

Will we have a fourth surge? It's a question that's in the balance right now, and the answer is up to us. If we mask up, avoid indoor gatherings, vaccinate equitably, the answer will be no.

Researchers discover that breast milk has 200 times the amount of glycerol monolaurate (GML) found in cow's milk. The compound inhibits growth of harmful bacteria allowing beneficial bacteria to thrive. ow.ly/364b50wOUgK

Changing tables in all bathrooms in all states, please. This is a win for babies and parents of all genders. Only having changing tables in women's bathrooms says that dads aren't caretakers and puts the pressure on moms to do all of the caretaking. mother.ly/news/new-york-chan…

What a terrible outcome for this baby and his parents. A timely reminder for #SLPeeps and other involved professionals that #frenectomy for #tonguetie is not risk free.

Has anyone looked at the shocking rise of “frenulectomy” with the “baby friendly hospital”? I’ll guess 20% of all newborns and 100% with a “painful latch” are getting clipped here.

In a world where everyone from the World Health Organisation to your mother in law has an opinion about how you should feed your baby, make the radical choice to feed your baby safely, in comfort and in a way that enables your whole family to thrive #fedisbest #fedisfeminist

Indeed it is. About time we stopped shaming ALL mothers about the choices they make. Bottle feeding is great, breast feeding is great, a fed baby is great. 🍼 xitter.gq/nat_aids_trust/status/…
Great to see that @MidwivesRCM are calling for mothers to be better supported when it comes to bottle-feeding. Impt to remember that bottle-feeding is medically advised for mothers living with HIV #makeformulafree theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…
