“The most critical period of brain growth and development for humans corresponds to the third trimester of pregnancy and for VLBW infants these developmental processes take place in the NICU environment – interventions we do have an impact.” Prof. @roykphilip #ICHMSI24 #HumanMilk

Good to see this @emer_currie1. I raised the need for more supports for those wishing to breastfeed with Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar at a recent meeting following the publication of this research by Prof @roykphilip on the reduced hospitalisation rates from RSV on breastfed children.
Yesterday I raised this UL research by @roykphilip with the Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar as one example of how doing more to support breastfeeding will have huge benefits for the country from a Preventive Health Care perspective. More infants breastfed = better protection against RSV.
Wishing Edna all the very best. Enjoy the well deserved relaxation, after decades of neonatal clinical roles and leadership positions. I'm recollecting my cherished years at the Rotunda Hospital.... @EdnaWoolhead @RotundaHospital @IrishNeonatal @BeirneIrene

Breastfeeding ‘safeguards infants’ from respiratory infections
Even partial breastfeeding can reduce hospitalisation from common respiratory infection, according to a new University of Limerick study:

“Formula milk should be sold in plain packaging to stop parents being exploited by marketing, the World Health Organization has said.
Experts from the global health body said the industry was using packaging to promote brands at inflated prices.”
