Singing songs and nursery rhymes helps little ones to learn new words and understand their meaning. This is especially helpful if you can relate them to something you've done together, like a winter walk.

If you been out in the rain this week, why not try singing ‘It's Raining It's Pouring’ together? Visit our website for a reminder of the lyrics: https://wordsforlife.org.uk/activities/its-raining-its-pouring/

Batches from brands including Aptamil, Cow & Gate and SMA have been recalled. If you have formula at home, check the batch code as affected products may still be in your cupboard.

If you have an affected batch:

- Stop using it
- Return it to the store for a replacement
- You can switch to another batch or brand
- If formula was prescribed, speak to a pharmacist or doctor first
