Breastfeeding is a wonderful way for mothers to bond with their new baby. But did you know it also offers vital protection for mum as well as baby?

🤱 For mothers, it lowers the risk of:
🎗️ Breast cancer by 4.3%
🎗️ Ovarian cancer by 30%
🎗️ Type 2 diabetes
🎗️ Heart disease

This , let’s raise awareness and support every parent’s right to breastfeed anytime, anywhere.

World Breastfeeding week
🍼 August 1–7 is World Breastfeeding Week!
Did you know that breastfeeding doesn’t just benefit babies, it also protects mothers?
🤱 Breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes in mothers.
Let’s build a world where every mother has the support she needs to breastfeed. At home, at work, and wherever she chooses.

🌞 Have your say on new sunbed safety rules! 🌞
The government has launched a 12-week consultation to strengthen regulations around commercial sunbeds and better protect children and young people.

Proposals include:
🔒 Mandatory ID checks
🚫 Banning unsupervised ‘tap and tan’ systems
⚠️ Clearer health warnings
❌ Cracking down on misleading claims (like sunbeds helping with weight loss or preventing sunburn!)

New rules could be introduced as early as 2027. The consultation closes on 14 August.
