Misleading packaging & excessive levels of sugar risks our infants’ health. Parents deserve to make informed decisions for their child’s health with the correct, current advice.
We hope to see more action in the near future to improve these products ✅👇

Today's tip is simple but vital!
Brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time - ideally last thing at night and one other time throughout the day - will do wonders for your smile.

Great advice and remember to change it every 3 months or when the bristle start to look worn @BeWellTameside @TamesideCouncil
When choosing your toothbrush, choose one with soft to medium bristles. Softer bristles are gentler on your teeth and gums, which helps reduce tooth sensitivity.

🎉 We are delighted to see the gov take bold steps to strengthen the Soft Drinks Industry Levy!
Lowering the sugar threshold & ending sugary milk-based drink exemptions are logical & much-needed steps for public health.

Worth a watch for any parents, shocking that manufacturers can make such claims for products low in vitamins and high in sugars.
For #BBCPanorama @CatrinNye reports on how some baby food in plastic pouches are worryingly low in essential vitamins and minerals, while others contain more sugar than the NHS recommends for a one-year-old in a day
On @BBCiPlayer now and @BBCOne at 8pm

Baby food pouches have become a go-to solution for busy parents. However, the nutritional quality of these products often falls far short of what young children need.
