Following recent news about an infant formula recall, we want to assure parents that it is safe for them to switch to another brand. There is no evidence that switching formulas does any harm. If you are using a specialised formula, please speak to your health professional about a suitable alternative. If you’re concerned that the formula you’re currently using may be affected, please check the Food Standards Agency (@foodgov) website for the most up-to-date recall information. food.gov.uk/news-alerts/aler… If you need infant feeding support, please contact our @NBHelpline on 0300 100 0212 - 24/7. Social media support is also available 💜

The UK House of Lords is currently debating amendments to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. We were delighted to get a mention, as Baroness Glenys Thornton kindly thanked us for our work. We supported Lord Simon Russell with his amendment calling for a comprehensive early years strategy, including the national rollout of #StartforLife, improved data collection and a national social care workforce plan. In summing up the debate on Lord Russell’s amendment, Minister Jacqui Smith confirmed the government is committed to publishing a best start in life strategy this year and are strengthening family services through Family Hubs and the Start for Life programme.
