These are unsettling times & many families have questions or worries about feeding their babies. World Health Organization (WHO) is clear that #breastfeeding is protective for babies,& the virus does not seem to carry in blood or milk, so there is no need to stop breastfeeding for fear of #COVID19.

So important - if you’re pregnant please understand this 💜 #COVID19

.Mitchells & Butlers Delighted you welcome breastfeeding mothers into your businesses. However your 2nd sentence is unnecessary (& potentially contradicts ur welcome). Babies have a right to be fed wherever they have a right to be, however discreetly they choose; u may want to rethink?

I need to say this - I want families to be supported with fair and equitable benefits that give them the dignity and choice to eat better - not be given free food from multinational food companies as part of their CSR/PR.

Be aware 🛑 we recently retweeted information regarding an infant allergy webinar that we are now aware is sponsored by a formula company. Please consider retracting your attendance to ensure adherence with UNICEF BFI guidance.

As I am about to depart I will send one final plea to British Dietetic Association to have a proper review of their relationship with food companies and baby milk companies - they lag far behind every other health professional group. They seem to have no understanding of what COI means.

I could not rate First Steps Nutrition Trust any higher and am honoured to be a trustee. Dr Helen Crawley has brought intelligence, patience, and an incredible ability to explain complex concepts to her role. If only all hcp organisations could recognise the impact of industry on policy.
