A Nutrition Fellowship has issued a call for stronger breastfeeding support, urging health systems and communities to do more to help mothers breastfeed. The appeal, reported by The Himalayan Times, highlights gaps in counselling, workplace accommodations and health services that leave many new mothers without adequate guidance during the critical early months of a child's life.

Attention is turning to the exhausting effort of 'masking' ADHD symptoms, particularly in professional settings. Advocates argue that systems, not individuals, should adapt by recognising ADHD at work and creating low-stakes, predictable environments. The most compassionate response, they say, is for employers and institutions to actively create and advocate for accommodations rather than expecting people to hide their symptoms.
