This presents valuable opportunities to integrate maternal psychosocial wellbeing (including mental health & safety & security) and nurturing care (stimulation & responsive caregiving) into existing IYCF programmes that could benefit children’s dietary intakes, growth and development.

Actually, the @who.int has been sounding the alarm about ultra-processed foods in recent years. It’s a thing and it is not controversial in the scientific community. As an IYCF scientist we discuss UPFs all the time in the literature.

This upcoming @ucs.org event was what sparked my interest in the topic. They specifically mention the historic underconsideration of women and children in nuclear disaster planning. IYCF-E needs to be included in such plans.

Weak & disregarded UK regulations on formula labelling undermine safe & appropriate IYCF Companies use misleading marketing to push up formula prices;
Formula marketing regulations need to be stronger & enforced, not weaker to bring down prices & protect the health of all IYC, however they are fed.
