Midwifery/lactation consultants out there…what are your experiences when submitting an IFR for Donor Breast milk for families in your areas?
Accepted? Declined? Who normally takes the lead on submission?

Some very unexpected news arrived in my inbox over the Summer when I was informed that I was to be awarded an honorary* MBE by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for services to Women’s Cancer Support at @MummysStar
Listed publicly today, it’s a really wonderful surprise 1/3
Establishing @MummysStar in 2013 stemmed from the worst kind of heartbreak imaginable, losing Mair with two children who were just 10 weeks and 3 at the time.
I wanted other families who found themselves in this awful situation to be seen, heard, and looked after 2/3
The charity has grown steadily supporting over 2,000 families and educating and training over 10,000 students and healthcare professionals and that is a collective achievement by a team, trustees, supporters but most importantly the families we support.
Thank You ☺️
In the UK, 1 in 4 people will have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lifetime.
You are not alone - reach out to your support team.

A key clinical message which would take in the potential identification of cancer red flags in pregancy/postnatally in today’s @mbrrace report “Need for inquisitiveness” which further backs our calls to See The Symptom when assessing any new or changing issues @MummysStar
