Recently there have been a series of formula milk recalls in the UK. We are conducting research to explore UK parents' experiences of the impact of this upon their wellbeing, their trust in manufacturing, and what they feel should be done now swanseachhs.eu.qualtrics.com…

A brilliantly balanced article - a little exercise won't counteract a higher than needed calorie diet but if you're active (especially very active by population norms) you most likely need to make sure you're giving your body what it needs i.e. more. theconversation.com/exercise…

Exercise does increase calorie burn – but probably not as much as you might hope

Some experts have theorised our total daily calorie burn is limited – but research shows us otherwise.

futurelearn.com/courses/lact… this online course available for free to NHS colleagues has been one of the most humbling and eye opening I’ve done. Hearing from bereaved parents talking about their experience of milk donation has been so important.

We’re hoping to do some research looking at ultra processed food discussions and parent wellbeing, spending & food choices for their children. If you’ve got a child under 5 we’d love your thoughts on our ideas, especially if … (cont) 5 minute survey here bit.ly/4grUFfr

Especially if you’re on a low income, have children who are fussy eaters or food avoidant, have Autistic or disabled children, are disabled or have a chronic health issue yourself. Or anything that can make diet and food choices more complicated Thank you 🙌

I feel the world needs more of this - ‘this’ being cute cat photos, a hug, pink toe beans, a box of fluff, a battered cardboard box, whatever, but more of it 😻

A month ago, I and colleagues published a letter in @LancetGH asking if breastfeeding women in DRC could have the mpox vaccine. They had been overlooked in @WHO guidance. WHO has responded and the answer is, yes they can! Grateful for this clarification. thelancet.com/journals/langl…
