Like Helen Crawley from First Steps Nutrition Trust, go out into the world and join the conversations about food, health, obesity, standards and say, “Can we just remember BABIES?” #FirstSteps2018 #HENRYConf2018

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

Wanting a break from Brexit? The next meeting of the APPG on Infant Feeding and Inequalities will be on Tuesday 2nd April, 1pm-3pm in UK House of Commons. Please let your MP know! #APPGIFI

Our appreciation to @JonathanCliffe8 Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent OBE Gillian Smith MBE DUniv Tracey Cooper MBE PhD FRCM @LesleyBriscoe Lisa Ramsey 🌈💙🏳️‍⚧️ who have stepped down as BJM editorial board members after the journal refused to move on accepting industry funding. Bold and courageous - we can only hope it has impact too.
