NHS Better Health Start | Introducing Solid Foods

This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council on behalf of the NHS Partnership Team, for the attention of All Early Year Settings. 

Our early years campaigns provide parents with support and advice on introducing solid foods to their baby, during what can be a confusing time. Better Health Start for Life will continue the Introducing Solid Foods campaign in the new year with planned relaunch on 13th February 2023.

As part of the campaign, the 'weaning hub1' is available on the Better Health Start for Life website to help parents introduce solid foods to their baby. Packed with NHS-endorsed advice, videos and tips, plus simple, healthy recipes, it puts everything parents need to know in one place. 

Download and order a range of free digital and print resources from the Campaign Resource Centre, available now. As well as posters, web banners and digital screens to help promote the campaign in your area, you can also order a weaning1 wallchart.  This resource is perfect for Health Visitors and other Health and Care professionals who speak directly to mums and parents about introducing solid foods. This resource is also available in an Easy Read version which can help with communicating with those with learning disabilities or for whom English is not their first language.
