A few reasons why lanolin shouldn’t be universally recommended as THE nipple cream.
1. Evidence doesn’t suggest it’s superior.
2. Cost.
3. VEGANS
4. Some have allergic reaction (even to ‘medical grade’)
5. A very popular brand is made by a WHO code breaking company.

Discussion on BBC breakfast about hand rearing a baby gorilla and how you have to treat them very different from human babies e.g. hold them close all the time, sleep with them, feed them when they want not by the clock. Because humans and gorillas are so different. 😂😂

It is past time to put #BabiesBeforeProfits. Thank you to the Global Breastfeeding Collective, @UNICEF & @WHO for today’s celebration of the #BMSCodeAt40. Let’s enact and enforce #BMSCode legislation.

🙌 Truth is - you can’t be a breastfeeding supporter and not believe everyone has a right to breastfeed for as long as they want (and not at all!)

Telling a #breastfeeding person that ‘the latch looks good’ when they are in pain is equal to telling someone with a migraine ‘well your head looks fine’.
Adjust, review, repeat, until the #latch FEELS GOOD 🤱🏼

We need more BUMP awareness in #breastfeeding support. It’s common to start out using your bump as a feeding shelf but days go by, your arms & hands ache, baby starts slipping.
You have changed shape but it didn’t happen overnight. You may need to adapt, lean back, get support.

Reflux looks like a ‘full feed’ when it rarely is.
20mls of spilt milk next to U.K. 5p, Euro, U.S quarter.
5mls & 10mls next to U.K 20p.
An 8 week baby feeding 2hrly takes @ 60mls - 3x puddle on right.
Does an IBCLC with a black granite workshop even have a choice?

Hundreds of my colleagues are feeling this at this moment. I am heartbroken for them. They are intelligent, bright, dedicated mothers who are being made to make an unbearable decision, with no basis. @rcog @GOVUK are you even listening? @Hmcgera @MilkBankScot @milk_foundation
