Was great to call into the #MoreThanMilk event in Stormont today as part of World Breastfeeding Week.
Delighted to see so many mothers & babies, highlighting the economic benefits of breastfeeding ❤️

I'm loving @DanWuori content. #TerrificToddlers
Being a toddler can be a frustrating thing.
As expert observers of their parents and siblings, toddlers are keenly aware of the examples being set around them - and deeply motivated to be just like YOU.
The good news is that, thanks to their rapidly transforming motor, cognitive, and language skills, much of this emulation becomes possible (at least in early forms).
But with these skills also still very much in development, toddlers’ desires and expectations can sometimes come into conflict with their actual/current abilities.
And that can be hard.
So much of what we consider the “terrible twos” is rooted in this frustration.
Which is why I love this video.
This backyard zip line isn’t within little Lyra’s skill set. But you can totally see where she might feel left out as her siblings ride time and again.
Enter grandma and grandpa, who - together, slowly, safely, and appropriately - enable her to experience just the thing she wants most:
To be one of the big kids.
And her delight is just palpable. That face. Her delighted squeals.
The. Best.
This lovely example of toddlerhood done right was shared to IG by the_walters_family.

Great progress was made in the past 10 years because of strong leadership & investment in enabling breastfeeding. I don't want to see those gains eroded because there's still work to be done...
Breastival Chair @Jen_CESI @BelTel “We are urging the Health Minister to prioritise a new ambitious breastfeeding strategy that builds on the positives so that progress isn't lost in the coming years." #normalise @mikenesbittni @healthdpt @LizK1988 belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/…

Northern Ireland still has the lowest rate of breastfed babies in the UK - as well as being good for babies, research also suggests the health benefits could save the cash-strapped health service many millions in the long term.

I've been out for the day delivering training on data analysis for evaluation to Surestart managers today. I felt at home as soon as I walked in the door @LH_SureStart
@effectiveserv
Could your team benefit from demystifying evaluation?
