This mornings rant will be correcting how leaders should address the mom from MA w/ #postpartum #psychosis who killed her kids

#1: "district attorney said the incident was an unimaginable, senseless tragedy."

No it's not - we know this social issue.🧵

In fact, #postpartum depression not only is the number one killer of birthing parents - it is killing us in the long term too - 20% of deaths in the postpartum period are due to #Suicides

U.S. policies that hate families and women perpetuate this obvi.

#2: "Authorities have not said whether they're looking {postpartum psychosis} as a factor in her alleged crimes, but "It does seem like a pretty classic case of postpartum depression with potential psychosis,"

This is the problem: they ignore us.

Great to see Continuity of care high up the political agenda

But why does it matter?

#ContinuityOfCare 2/n 📜

Continuity of care is a highly cost effective health intervention

It does not grab the headlines as well as flashy new hospitals -
but is proven to:

⬆️ your life expectancy
⬇️ hospital admissions

A thread about infant readmissions to hospital in the UK. Prompted by a recent paper in @bmcseries #bmcpediatrics. I’ll talk thru the data & some wider issues that are the focus of debate in #infantfeeding - 1/n

Why is this important? Well, there is a lot of discussion going on, mainly in mass media and social media, about possible relationships between #infantfeeding policy & practice and sufficiency of #breastfeeding in the early days/weeks of life 2/n
My personal interest in this area: while having my own kids, I trained & volunteered to provide #breastfeeding support locally and continue to follow the research and evolving discussions 3/n
