Weaning Campaign

This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Public Health Programme Officer, Timothy Howells, for the attention of all Early Years settings.

On the 6th of February 2019, Public Health England (PHE) launched its first ever Start4Life campaign offering parents support and advice on introducing solid foods to their baby, during what can be a confusing time. A brand-new weaning hub has been launched on the Start4Life website to help parents during their weaning journey. Packed with NHS-approved advice and tips for each weaning stage, plus simple, healthy weaning recipes, it puts everything parents need to know in one place.
