📰 NEWS

We’re pleased to see that our friends at First Steps Nutrition Trust have joined the Commercial Baby Food Review – a new collaboration working to improve the nutritional quality and marketing of baby and toddler foods in the UK.

Research continues to show that many products on the shelves can be confusing or misleading, with some baby foods higher in sugar than expected and often marketed as suitable from 4 months, despite guidance recommending starting solids at around 6 months.

🧡 We know that sometimes grabbing a pouch or jar of baby food on the go is practical – but it’s important that parents feel confident and informed about what they’re feeding their babies. This is why trusted information and practical support really matter.

At HENRY, our Starting Solids workshops support parents and carers to:
• understand when babies are ready for solid foods
• explore nutritious and safe options
• feel confident making feeding choices
• develop healthy eating habits and enjoyable mealtimes

📍 If you’re in City & Hackney, our Starting Solids workshops are available locally in children’s centres.
