Feed

FEED were at WFTV Festival, Glasgow last night where Milk was screened. The reception to the film was overwhelming and we were privileged to represent the film on behalf of director Naomi Waring. Thanks to everyone who attended & supported Milk and Feed!

We understand that recent infant formula recalls may be causing worry for parents and carers. Our information page explains which products are affected and what you should do. For a full list of affected batches and more information visit: food.gov.uk/safety-hygiene…

Further products recalled. More info: food.gov.uk/news-alerts/al… The risk of harm is low, but consuming them could cause vomiting and diarrhoea. If your baby has recently drunk an affected batch and you are concerned about symptoms, contact your GP or call NHS111.

The UKHSA notes that thankfully none of the babies affected are seriously ill and they're monitoring the situation. Affected batches are here: nestle.co.uk/en-gb/media/sm… The Danone batch affected is Aptamil 800g pack of First Infant Formula coded EXP 31-10-2026.

Nestlé is recalling specific batches of its SMA infant formula due to potential contamination. More on the Food Standards Agency website: food.gov.uk/news-alerts/al…

Happy New Year everyone! Our resolution this year is to ensure that every Mum gets all the information & support she needs to feed her baby how she chooses #bottlesboobsortubes

📢 We did it! 🍼 After a year of campaigning to make infant formula more affordable, the PM has confirmed the Government will act. Clearer guidance + allowing loyalty points & vouchers could save families up to £500. This is what our 107,000-strong petition fought for. @MetroUK @feedukorg @OfficialLadbaby

So proud to see @feedukorg on the front page of the @MetroUK on our win to end the ludicrous restriction on families using loyalty points and vouchers to purchase infant formula. Weirdly women don’t stop breastfeeding simply because they can use their clubcard for baby milk.

As well as giving families more options at the till, by bringing formula in line with other grocery items this move will also help smash the stigma around this vital food. Well done DHSC, keep up the momentum! #FormulaForChange

@DHSCgovuk Great to see an evidence based stance and listening to the voices of women by committing to removing barriers to accessible and affordable formula for the families who need it. Well done DHSC, keep up the momentum! #FormulaForChange

✅ We’re putting hundreds of pounds back into parents’ pockets by making lower-priced infant formula easier to choose. This will help tackle child poverty and give every child the best start in life. gov.uk/government/new…

Front page of the @MetroUK. A huge win for #FormulaForChange. Formuls should be affordable & accessible for all who need it, & they should be able to buy it with loyalty points, with vouchers, with dignity. We’re just getting started.

Pleased to see there's no legal restriction to the use of vouchers/loyalty points to buy formula! We look forward to contributing to a new approach that puts women & families at the heart of infant feeding policy. Want to get involved? Become a #FeedAdvocate #FormulaForChange

The CMA found that guilt & poor preparation for formula use have contributed to a distorted market that harms parents & issued recommendations to address it. The Government was due to respond in May and still hasn’t. Families need balanced info & support: feeduk.org/combifeeding

The report with the Lowdown found only 12% of women planned to combination feed, yet 26% did so from birth and another 11% later on. Women need clear, realistic feeding information. Read the report: feeduk.org/setuptofail

Our Set up to Fail report found 84% of women think everyone should receive information on all feeding options, including pros and cons — something the NHS doesn’t provide. Only 6% support the current system, and 75% felt guilt or shame about using formula. feeduk.org/setuptofail

NHS data shows the rise in breastfeeding at 6 weeks is largely due to families combining breastmilk & formula, yet NHS gives little guidance on this. NICE rules limit proactive info on formula, leaving many women unprepared for common feeding realities highlighted in our survey.

This #WorldBreastfeedingWeek we are delighted to launch #TheMAMSProject, a groundbreaking research study that aims to develop real, practical solutions for the most common #breastfeeding problems so that all women can breastfeed for as long as they choose feeduk.org/themamsproject

As WBW2025 comes to a close, our support continues. We recognise & respect all feeding choices, and remain committed to supporting women & families in every aspect of infant feeding. For more info about feeding: bit.ly/4lzmODL #InformedChoices #WBW2025 #flexiblefeeding
