Breastfeeding and Hemiplegia: Scarlett Murray writes @hemihelp #disability scarlettmurray.co.uk/post/breastfee…

With the opening ceremony of COP 26 underway, breastfeeding has definitely a part to play moving forward - did you know...

So pleased to see our article 'Providing effective evidence based support for breastfeeding women in primary care' - published today. bmj.com/content/375/bm… #breastfeeding #evidence Mary Renfrew Prof Alison McFadden Anna Hendrie/Gavine

Breastfeeding mothers know what the letdown reflex *feels* like, this is what it *looks* like. One of my all-time fav videos by Felicity Davis shows contraction of mammary alveoli to eject milk, so beautiful 😍

Great to see the increase in breastfeeding rates in Scotland showing what political commitment and funding can achieve. It is good to see progress on reducing inequalities in breastfeeding. Mary Renfrew Marianne White Phyll Buchanan Dr Joyce Marshall Anna Hendrie/Gavine Gill Milner

Midwives save lives, reduce morbidity & enhance health, yet in every country globally we are poorly paid, undervalued, face hostility, struggle to access to education, have reduced autonomy, & exclusion from executive leadership. Join pushcampaign.org #WomensRights
