This week we're remembering all the babies who have left us too soon. Let's not allow baby loss to remain a taboo subject. Let people know you're there to talk!

That question, “Is he a good baby?” Don’t we all love it? I was once asked that about my son. He was in a sling on my back at about 13 months. I replied, “Well, he could be smoking crack back there and I wouldn’t necessarily know. You tell me.” Blank expression.
Happy #InternationalDayOfTheMidwife - It's a privilege to work with such a great team of midwives, both here at Expecting and in our NHS! #IDM #IDM2019 #IDM19 – at Stafford, England

Shocking to hear in Dispatches programme that HVs & midwives are recommending particular milks which are more expensive. I do daily battle with mums being misold formula in the mistaken belief that specialist milks are better for their baby. – at Kings Worthy, England

Anyone just see the @C4Dispatches programme about formula companies? Thoughts? We explain a lot of what was said in our classes. #midwife #antenatalclasses

Interesting documentary
I’ve got no idea which formula to use. There doesn’t seem to be much guidance, there’s just hundreds and hundreds of different brands.

You should always place your baby on their back to sleep. However, if they've learnt to roll and you find them on their front or side, don’t panic!

One from the archives about the Everything Myth. True productivity is not about doing everything. It’s separating the worry from the work, and the fake work from the real work. More here: grace-marshall.com/the-every… #productivity #worklifebalance
Would love to send you some of my new flyers for online classes x
