This week in ‘how do we stop those pesky baby banks providing milk to hungry formula fed babies’ we’ve had an NHS Infant Feeding lead contact a bank telling them provision of formula is illegal (it’s not), & a BF counsellor contact a baby bank threaten to... (1/) #FormulaIsFood ...withdraw BF support from Mums at a local playgroup, because they “hosted” the bank, who gave a Mum two tins of formula they had, despite not providing formula usually. We still can’t believe this but we have receipts (2/) #FormulaIsFood

In light of our ongoing #FormulaIsFood campaign it’s great to see @babyfriendly confirm that public services CAN provide infant formula to families in need in these new guidelines for local authorities (LAs): tinyurl.com/babyfriendlyLA…

#FormulaIsFood #TeamFeed (1/20) @babyfriendly @1stepsnutrition can you please answer the following questions we have about the new guidelines so we can ensure formula feeding families & the organisations who support them get the most accurate advice?

Many of you will have seen this cool picture of #breastanatomy we shared earlier. You might have guessed by looking at it that it’s a representation & not an actual anatomical image. So, if you’re wondering what an anatomically correct boob is made of, read on! #TeamFeed (1/n) Boobs, or mammary glands as we anatomists call them, are made up of a combination of glandular tissue, ducts, fat & supporting connective tissue. The glandular tissue synthesises breastmilk which travels along the ducts to the nipple #breastanatomy #TeamFeed (2/n)
