Podcast: Parents under Pressure - the rising cost of baby formula
Another spike in the price of infant formula will leave families across the country struggling to give their babies the nutrition they need.
Despite government commitments to save parents money on the cost of this essential product, some brands have increased prices by up to 45% since the start of the year.
In our latest podcast experts and campaigners, including Corin Bell, the new Chief Executive Officer of Alexandra Rose charity, Amy Brown, Professor of Public Health at Swansea University, and Food Ambassador Glory Omoaka about what needs to happen next.
The discussion is led by Hannah Brinsden, our Head of Policy and Advocacy, and reflects on recent developments and findings from our Early Years report series.
