A lot of the chocolate on supermarket shelves is surprisingly poor quality. Many brands contain very little cocoa solids and are barely allowed to be called “chocolate” at all. For example, Cadbury’s sits at around 20% cocoa solids, which is just the minimum required to legally use the word chocolate on the packaging. Anything below that wouldn’t qualify. When you look closer, it’s quite shocking, most of these products are made up largely of sugar, vegetable fats, and emulsi

Current statistics show that over 60% of a child’s diet in the UK is made up of ultra-processed foods, meaning many children are consuming more ultra-p

Even the more “non toxic” and “natural” options online all contained fragrance and other chemicals. It was hard

A question I hear often from parents starting the weaning journey is: "Can my baby have sourdough? Or "is there a softer version that's better for them?" The truth is, your baby doesn't actually need soft bread at this stage. Let me explain... Hard, toasted bread is actually safer for babies than soft bread. Here's why: firm textures give resistance, making it less likely to clump into a sticky "gummy mass" that can get stuck on the roof of the mouth and increase choking risk
