When you and your baby are exposed to a virus, your body begins to produce antibodies. Those antibodies are passed on via your milk when you breastfeed. Continuing to nurse will help your baby to recover from illness and can also make the illness less severe.

To support #breastfeeding, governments & policymakers should:
✅Create supportive environments for 🤱🏻, ensuring ALL women have paid maternity leave
✅#EndExploitativeMarketing of formula milk
✅Expand training so health workers can help with breastfeeding before & after birth

Practical new research on how best to thaw frozen #breastmilk:
Thawing overnight in the fridge before warming preserves sIgA & lysozyme better than immediate warming straight from the freezer.
Good to know! 👍🏻

I have learned numerous skills during my PhD, including how to make #Infographics ! A summary of how #breastfeeding + #breastmilk contribute to child health 🔽
I particularly love the Protects, Nourishes, Communicates trifecta. Breastmilk is > Nutrition

Wind can have such an impact on your home, but there are more ways to make a difference at home. Ask yourself how you can make a difference?

Some great information on what we can do to support women who choose to breastfeed by @WHO
How do you think we can continue to show support to women who breastfeed?

“Too thin.”
“Too watery.”
“Too rich.”
“Too yellow.”
While there are some mother-baby pairs that have supply issues, there is no such thing as a breastmilk “quality” issue. Your milk is perfectly suited for your baby at every age and stage.

As my bf journey comes to an end after 2 babies I wanted to share about @NorthernStarMB They are Canada's only community based milk bank, and with help from donors, they offer breast milk to babies in the hospital.
I was lucky to have an excess supply and was able to donate
