Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 June 2025

Debate

Baby Foods: Nutrition and Marketing

Contribution

The noble and learned Baroness is right about ensuring that we do not stigmatise women who cannot breastfeed; that is critical. There is criticism of some of the organisations supporting breastfeeding, which have perhaps gone too far. We do take this seriously, looking at the different ages, moving from infant formula onwards, and frankly, the advice from companies is quite misleading. All this needs to be taken into account to get a rounded picture and to ensure that consumers are getting the best information possible.
