.@sathNHS You do know who Sheena Byrom is, don't you? She is one of the prominent proponents of normal birth, the very ideology at the heart of the mother & baby deaths and injuries Donna Ockenden looked into. Does this mean your staff still don't understand what the problem was?

Trust that fully embraced "normal birth" ideology & boasted about its low cs rate whilst 100s babies died as a result of failings in care invites leading normal birth activist for a conference to celebrate #InternationalDayOfTheMidwife I despair

@chdkidaizy @FeedingAlliance @DrSdeG This happens nearly every single day where the sole focus is getting babies to exclusively breastfeed even when they are showing every sign that they are not getting enough milk.
@sue_haddon @drruthannharpur I’m so so sorry. I will never forget the horror I felt after being taken away for surgery after my first was born and coming back to her screaming hours later, no one had fed her. Purple screaming, starving. I will always feel guilt that her first hours were miserable.
Heroes, these two - heroes right here!
@melindagates @gatesfoundation @BillGates, we hope you would consider reading an advanced copy of our book. Parents and babies aren’t being listened to and it is resulting in patient harm. Please contact me at [email protected]
This. Documents openly record my baby receiving just 6.5 mls (in addition to failed breastfeeds) in 48 hours while under hospital care. To be clear: my care was in line with national guidelines. To say that hospitals not feeding babies is wrong is not anti breastfeeding.

@frecklesbaybeee @kiityc @Jillyphys This doesn't make sense Maria. If a family can choose to formula feed and that is "fine" then by very definition, babies do not *need* breastmilk. The fundamental error of contemporary healthcare when it comes to infant feeding is that it assumes breastmilk is vastly…
@frecklesbaybeee @Jillyphys @drruthannharpur That I don’t think modern humans would accept 3 out of 7 babies surviving to adulthood, which is absolutely what would be the case without modern obstetrics and formula supplementation, and is still the case for many mammals without access to either.
@sue_haddon Thank you for sharing. It’s always hard to talk about this but we have to, to keep it happening to another baby. People are pushing babies past their physical limits of weight loss that research has already shown to be unsafe…all in the name if exclusive breastfeeding.
Dr Christie and Jody are heroes!
@FeedingAlliance Vets and vet nurses would rightly be reported to their professional bodies and regulators for failing to feed appropriately. But human offspring can starve?
Vets and farmers know something that health professionals responsible for human babies have decided not to know or care about because they've decided venerating breastfeeding and hating the formula industry are more important than actually feeding babies

@drruthannharpur When my very young baby was hospitalised with an infection, I was told I wasn't entitled to food on the ward because I was bottle-feeding. I had to buy sandwiches from the canteen.
Reality is something of a problem for many claims made by breastfeeding advocates

@catherineroyuk @VictoriaAtkins @mariacaulfield Also midwives as a "climate solution?" Maybe best to focus on getting women and babies through pregnancy and birth rather than adopting a mission to save the planet!

2/2 My mum’s ashes were laid at Gunwalloe Cove so it’s where I go to take flowers & ‘see’ her too. Just outside the churchyard is the wildest beach which can have crashing waves & bright sunshine all at the same time - today was just beautiful.
1/2 On International #BereavedMothersDay I went to lovely Gunwalloe Church & took some flowers for #BabyKernow a little unknown baby whose parents (judging by the age of the grave) are probably deceased now. Baby Kernow is still remembered & visited by many of us: my turn today
@hergehound5 @sathNHS @DOckendenLtd @CNOEngland @JamesTitcombe @brookiewookie15 One of the midwives in these pictures was part of the failing team that caused Poppy’s death. She also lied on her witness statement and during the inquest into our daughter’s death. What, pray tell, is she being celebrated for?? #safermaternity #maternityinquirynow
@catherineroyuk @sathNHS Not only do they not appear to understand how "normal birth" ideology contributed to 100s of preventable deaths under their watch, they appear to find "normal birth" ideology (now probably couched in new language like supporting physiology and continuity of care) inspirational.
.@sathNHS You do know who Sheena Byrom is, don't you? She is one of the prominent proponents of normal birth, the very ideology at the heart of the mother & baby deaths and injuries Donna Ockenden looked into. Does this mean your staff still don't understand what the problem was?
Yesterday we held a conference for International Day of the Midwife. We had inspirational speakers, including an audience with Sheena Byrom OBE, as well as Save the Children who were the recipients of our fundraising. @sathNHS @all4maternity @MidwivesRCM @sheena_byrom @drtraceyc
Trust that fully embraced "normal birth" ideology & boasted about its low cs rate whilst 100s babies died as a result of failings in care invites leading normal birth activist for a conference to celebrate #InternationalDayOfTheMidwife I despair

@chdkidaizy @FeedingAlliance @DrSdeG This happens nearly every single day where the sole focus is getting babies to exclusively breastfeed even when they are showing every sign that they are not getting enough milk.
@chdkidaizy @catherineroyuk @FeedingAlliance @DrSdeG Where do we begin when compassion is missing from care? We start with dismantling powerful ideologies #normalbirth #breastfeeding that marinate carers into echo chambers.
@chdkidaizy @DrSdeG I am so so sorry 🙏
@sue_haddon @drruthannharpur I’m so so sorry. I will never forget the horror I felt after being taken away for surgery after my first was born and coming back to her screaming hours later, no one had fed her. Purple screaming, starving. I will always feel guilt that her first hours were miserable.
Heroes, these two - heroes right here!

@truthoutthere12 @Jillyphys @frecklesbaybeee It's literally nhs policy to promote breastfeeding! If there are individual circumstances in which it doesn't happen staff are not following policy, take it up with them.
@frecklesbaybeee @kiityc @Jillyphys My core issue is that "breastfeeding support" appears to based on no evidence whatsoever. It's a massive con.
