Incredibly worrying to hear of people stockpiling infant formula. Please, please, only buy what you need so there's enough to go around.

Hey @asda can you tell your staff at Burnley store that this display of baby formula is illegal? These are first stage and hungry baby milks, on an end aisle under promotional signs. Please remove it. @babymilkaction

Some infant milks so expensive my local supermarket doesn’t have on display - just pics in plastic boxes.
This is really splendid news - The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health have overturned their long-standing arrangement to take money from the formula industry. Statement today.

Affluent families are combatting childhood obesity and we can see the dip over 11 years (far right block - white to dark purple). In the more deprived households, the battle is not being won (far left block). And the gap is widening. #HENRYConf18 #FirstSteps2018
