Whoever coined the term ‘sleeping like a baby’ has not actually slept next to a baby.

In the state of Florida, women will soon be unable to seek an abortion after only six weeks of pregnancy. And yet, just about anyone can carry a concealed and LOADED firearm in public without a permit or training. This ain’t about ‘protecting life’. It’s about controlling women.

Another Recall. Gerber Good Start SoothePro, multiple lots, 3 sizes. What a way to celebrate the 13 month anniversary of the Sturgis Abbott Recall and Shutdown. @thatnursemom @thepedipals @theformulamom @BuildUpRDNs @DrCaliff_FDA @bmarler @stableisotope

6 food elimination diet not superior to single food (milk) elimination in EoE! – at Los Angeles, CA
For EoE, 6 food elimination diet IDENTICAL to single food (milk) diet for histologic response. ⁦@GuildConference⁩ #ikuohirano ⁦@AbeKhanMD⁩

This would be huge! Fingers crossed the changes go through and seamlessly.
📢Today, @USDANutrition announced proposed changes to allow online shopping in #WIC! This is a critical change for modernization of the WIC program. (THREAD🧵

There is something morally wrong with our leaders touting how strong our economy is and how bright our future as a nation is while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck & our life expectancy continues to drop. It’s gaslighting on a monumental scale.

Should we really be calling patients “non-compliant” when they get scheduled for 20 minute visits?

We’re without childcare this week. I can’t think of a bigger blocker of productivity and advancement for families and workers. If you believe in equality then you have to believe in better childcare benefits from employers and the government. – at Manhattan, NY

Sometimes when patients hear, "diet doesn't matter for IBD" they end up getting grad degrees in nutrition and talking about how diet does, in fact, matter. #CCCongress23

This observational study highlights the impact of food literacy (FL) on health outcomes. Their 🔑 findings: inadequate FL is related to the worst health status and several limitations to daily life. rb.gy/4xb7ii 8/

Whatever happened to the foreign imports of extensively hydrolyzed formulas? Asking for patients who’s families can’t find Nutramigen or Extensive HA powders.

Replying to @pedi_rd
agree...when it has been YEARS since CDR stopped permitting CEs for CLT and despite numerous articles explaining why these tests aren't evidence based...and yet there are STILL dietitians promoting them 🙄
