I've signed the petition calling on this government to stop the cruel & inhumane eviction of people with refugee status. Support people to stay in the communities they call home. Will you add your name too? action.uplift.ie/campaigns/s…

Every time there's an ad for follow on, growing up or toddler milks it should have a "Not required by children 1-5 years" disclaimer banner across it! 🛑
...Or even better, legislate for the Code and stop ads for unnecessary milks! 👌
"Formula milks (including infant formula, follow-on formula, ‘growing-up’ or other ‘toddler’ milks) are not required by children aged 1 to 5 years." (SACN, 2023 endorsing WHO, 2013) #EndExploitativeMarketing

Thank you @GColleranMD for acknowledging the importance of #breastfeeding #peer support; use of word 'dyad' for mother/baby; lovely quote ‘breastfeeding is caught not taught.’
along with adoption by HPs of breastfeeding as the default, rates could soar!

Gluten free is not a lifestyle choice, for some it's a necessity. Our T1 child has become gluten sensitive, not coeliac but his health is much improved by not eating gluten. The extra cost of suitable food is shocking.
Gluten free food is too expensive & for many it's NOT A CHOICE! 💸
@coeliacuk have put out a report on the cost of gluten free food + the reasons why it matters & are looking for as many people as possible to get behind the campaign.
Please RT

Young people have contacted me, they are very upset that this kind of false perception of them is being peddled by the Tánaiste and I think that’s the bit that upsets me the most. We need tolerance now more than ever #homeschooling #socialization
