Fantastic... especially as Queen's University Belfast 🎓 are hosting our 1st conference tomorrow. Our project focuses on developing an infant & young child feeding in emergencies preparedness plan for Ire. Central to that is the protection, promotion, and support of breastfeeding. Bravo, QUB! 🥳🤱

I'm back in Belfast to prepare for our #IYCF-E conference and really enjoying the city views that I've missed.

Two of our PIs, Liz O'Sullivan and Aileen Kennedy RD PhD, got a very warm welcome to Belfast this morning in advance of tomorrow's conference. Delighted to see Public Health Agency "Breastfeeding Welcome Here" sign at Lanyon train station 🤱



Delighted to welcome some brilliant IYCF advocates to QUB School of Law this morning. Follow along online using the #IYCFEIreland hashtag #Emergency #IYCFE #FoodSecurity




Thank you, Aileen Kennedy RD PhD for sharing the work conducted in 2020 that led to the present project. The COVID-19 crisis really highlighted that Ireland is vulnerable to emergencies also and we need a plan in place. #IYCFEIreland
