t’s nearly 9 years ago since I started breastfeeding my first baby. And I have not stopped breastfeeding since.

A myth-busting 🧵 Saskia at the RUH in Bath breastfeeding her newborn baby 1. Breastfeeding is natural and therefore easy and lovely.
It is bl**dy hard and you need a lot of support from your partner as well as peer support and specialist support to navigate through any issues.

Why electric bikes are part of the solution, and electric cars are not (at least not when privately owned); a short 🧵 1/n Electric bikes solve congestion.

Electric cars do not solve congestion. They make it worse because electric cars are bigger on average.

(Same goes for parking) 2/n

We're holding another #KidicalMass in Bath next Sat, 25 Sept fb.me/e/1eVojFm4P

#KidicalMassBath is about my 6-yr old being able to cycle to the library when she is a bit older.

It's not just about me and my family though. A thread. It's also about my 60-something-yr-old friend who cycles into town because walking is too painful on their joints. #KidicalMass
