Are you breastfeeding and due to be vaccinated for COVID-19 in the next few weeks? Would you like to take part in @imperialcollege research about how your milk responds? 🙏 contact [email protected] if you'd like to find out more.
There’s no single way to breastfeed. It changes from child to child and family to family. #pumpingisbreastfeeding
Snow headed your way? ❄️ Breastfeeding is a safe and effective way to feed a child in an emergency. Human milk is always clean, requires no fuel, water, or electricity, and is readily available when baby and nursing parent are kept close. lllusa.org/breastfeeding-…
Do you have a "fussy" baby? Here are some basic things to know about fussiness in breastfed babies. #breastfeeding #fussybaby breastfeedingusa.org/content/articl…
