📢 Powdered Infant #Formula is NOT sterile. To ⬇️ the risk of potentially deadly bacterial infection, parents need to be aware of the NHS guidance on making up formula. Two babies infected with rare bacteria sometimes found in powdered infant formula independent.co.uk/news/ap-food-a…

This is a VERY dubious article. 1. All first infant formula are nutritionally equivalent-simply buy the cheapest 2. Think your baby has a medical condition-seek medical advice "These 4 baby formulas are best, according to experts" dailymail.co.uk/best-buys/fami… Chris van Tulleken 🏳️‍🌈 Infant Feeding APPG

Unbelievable! How is the Daily Mail showed to publish this?! “Nutritional content: ‘Look for formulas that contain essential nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals’” 😂 First Steps Nutrition Trust agree. Buy the cheapest.

It costs about $5 to make a $40 tin of powdered jnfant formula. The rest goes on marketing, lobbying, and profit to shareholders #EndExploitativeMarketing to enable women to continue #breastfeeding

Does extremely early expression of colostrum after very preterm birth improve mother’s own milk quantity? Answer is YES! So get your perinatal systems geared to support expressing within 6hrs ⁦PERIPrem⁩ ⁦BAPM⁩ ⁦⁦ fn.bmj.com/content/early/…

I hope there will be someone in the new Parliament who will pick up the work of @appgifi and advocate for infant feeding. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with wonderful, committed people in the infant feeding world over the past nine years.
