Don’t feed babies ready-made pouches, NHS tells parents
Story by Timothy Sigsworth..
The NHS is telling parents not to feed babies ready-made food pouches.

New health service guidance warns mothers and fathers that newborns should only be fed processed, store-bought pouches and jars “occasionally”.

The NHS instead recommends a diet of home-made meals and no processed snacks, after claims by nutritionists that ready-made baby food is less healthy.
It is the first time the health service has mentioned processed baby food in its advice on infant nutrition.

In the updated guidance, the NHS tells parents that preparing simple food at home for babies is “often healthier and cheaper”.

“Although food jars, pouches, trays and pots can be convenient, you should not rely on them as an everyday food,” it reads. “If you use them, only use them occasionally.

“Preparing food at home is often healthier and cheaper than shop-bought food.” https://www.msn.com/en-gb/heal....th/other/don-t-feed-
