Have you had support that made a big difference? Whether it was from a mum, health professional, peer supporter or a helpline, we’d love to know. For further support, try our Breastfeeding Friend on Amazon Alexa: nhs.uk/start4life/bab… (and other versions for Google and chatbot)

Do you have suspected or confirmed coronavirus and are wondering if you can breastfeed? Find out the latest advice from The Breastfeeding Network UK (The Breastfeeding Network UK) and The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RoyalCollegeObsGyn): breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/coronavirus/ rcog.org.uk/en/guidelines-…

We aren't aware of any advice for babies to wear masks, whether they are infected or not. There is a potential risk of suffocation and other hazards with doing this. The latest Government guidance says that Children under 2 yrs. do not need to wear masks. gov.uk/government/new…

You don't need a special diet while breastfeeding; try to include a variety of fresh, healthy foods. You should also consider taking a vitamin D supplement (containing 10mcg), especially if you are spending more time indoors. Check out @NHS_Parents tips: nhs.uk/start4life/bab…

Are you expressing for a premature baby? Being relaxed, comfortable and warm helps your breast milk to flow. Having your baby, or a photo of baby nearby can also help. Check out @Tommys_baby tips for feeding premature babies: ow.ly/8cLa50zQfWq #BreastfeedingCelebrationWeek

This is an amazing opportunity

Is it safe to receive the COVID-19 vaccine while pregnant? 💉 The answer is yes. We know the vaccine is safe, while catching Covid can double the chance of a stillbirth. Louise Perkins - Consultant Midwife - explains why the Covid vaccine is recommended for pregnant women.

If you're pregnant, it's recommended you receive COVID-19 vaccination. According to Royal College of Midwives 💙, nearly 200 pregnant people were admitted to hospital with COVID-19, across the UK, between May & July. They have prepared this handy fact sheet to help you make an informed decision.

We want to reassure women that although the COVID-19 vaccines offered to people who are pregnant – Pfizer and Moderna - are relatively new, they are not ‘live’ vaccines and they cannot cause infection. Watch this video to hear from Asma Khalil.
