Breastfeeding plays an important role in cancer prevention and much more, so it is encouraging to see it getting attention in Parliament.
This is a testament to the amazing work of @1stepsnutrition.bsky.social & @katiepk.bsky.social who advocate tirelessly for better nutrition in the early years.

Great to see infant feeding being raised as a matter of policy priority for the UK Parliament by @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social, who made it clear that the promise by Secretary of State for Health to create the “healthiest generation ever” cannot be met unless infant feeding is prioritised.

Can't recommend Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams enough. Excellently written, and while the subject is largely quite existentially depressing, there are moments where I have literally laughed out loud, including this gem... #carelesspeople

This is a lovely article. Captures the bewilderment of early postpartum. With so many opinions on parenting/feeding/sleeping/everything so readily available, often unsolicited, reassurance that you're doing ok is so powerful.

When you start the day watching Paddington with your kid and finish it watch Black Doves with your partner, you find yourself seriously questioning whether the Browns are actually safe.
