We have been blown away by December's feedback for our service.🥰

As always, thank-you for taking the time to complete the Friends & Family Test (FFT) feedback form. Your feedback helps us to shape our support to best fit your needs.

It takes just a few minutes to complete the form & we will use your feedback to better understand what is important to you, what we are doing well and where can make improvements.

✨Expiry dates affected, updated 9th Jan✨

As there have been updates to the expiry dates affected in the recall, we want to remind parents that it is safe to switch to another formula brand if needed.

Information from the Food Standards Agency states:
"Even if you have not identified ill-health in your baby as a result of consumption of this product, it is essential to stop using it.

If the infant formula or follow-on formula was prescribed by a health professional for your infant, consult a pharmacist or other medical professional before changing formula."

You can find the most up-to-date recall information on their website:

If you need infant feeding support, please contact our National Breastfeeding Helpline UK on 0300 100 0212 - 24/7.
Social media support is also available 💜

[ID: 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.
