⚠️ Reminder: SMA Formula Recall ⚠️

Some SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula products are still being recalled due to the possible presence of cereulide toxin.

Cereulide can cause rapid onset of nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. It’s unlikely to be destroyed by boiling water or cooking.

Even if your baby seems well, it is essential to stop using affected products.

If the formula was prescribed by a health professional, consult a pharmacist or other medical professional before changing formula.

For a full list of affected batches and what to do next, visit: https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/alert/fsa-prin-02-2026-update-1

✨️ Merry Christmas to all our wonderful families ✨️

It has been a pleasure to support you in 2025; whether you came to us for support just the once, or have become a regular at our groups.

These photos are from our Christmas Party, we had a blast and loved meeting so many families and seeing you make connections. We would like to extend a special thanks to our friends who joined us; Yoga with Amber, Human Milk Foundation, South Norfolk Slings and Norfolk and Norwich MNVP.

Our volunteers will now take a well-deserved break for a couple of weeks. If you need feeding support over the festive period, please call the National Breastfeeding Helpline on 0300 100 0212. They are open 24/7 every single day of the year.

We will be back on Friday 9th January 2026, for our group at the CFM Family Base in Norwich.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from the team at Breastfeeding Support Norwich and Norfolk 💛

Achieving a safe fit with a carrier can be very simple once you know how.

It all starts with that waistband! Think of it as the foundations to your carry. If that’s not in the right place, nothing else will work.

If your carrier is:
❌Coming higher than baby’s earlobes
❌Not holding them snug against your body
❌Not keeping them high on your chest

then please get in touch for a fit check.
There’s likely some adjustments that’ll make a huge difference. And if your carrier isn’t fitting yet, you can hire one that will.

I have lots of great tutorials on my YouTube channel too!!
