Next week (October 9th) marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness week. #BLAW
This means that your social media and mainstream media may become filled with posts about baby loss, as families, charities and organisations work together to raise awareness and share their experiences.

Government of Pakistan takes a strong clear stand in making sure breastfeeding is not undermined by industry tactics, including donations, in emergency situations. Great example for other countries. The GOVERNMENT has to be the one to put the foot down.

The work that the team are doing @addenbrookes milk bank is incredible and they can offer choices to families who want to donate after loss 💜 - no minimum donation amount, choices for recipient and research donation and we look forward to supporting them in any way we can 2/3

Here @memorymilkgift we believe that every family should be given the opportunity to donate milk in memory of their baby
Join us in working together to ensure that donation after loss is offered as routine in the UK by sharing our mission statement 💜
