⚠️New product recalls: Aptamil and Cow & Gate first infant milk and follow-on milk.

Danone is recalling several Aptamil and Cow & Gate infant formula and follow-on milk products because cereulide toxin may be present in some batches.

Cereulide can cause rapid onset of nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. It's unlikely to be destroyed by boiling water or cooking.
Even if your baby seems well, it is essential to stop using affected products. If the formula was prescribed by a health professional, consult a pharmacist or other medical professional before changing formula.

WARNING: Baby sleep pillows can be deadly

These soft pillows and cushions are often marketed for baby sleep or as somewhere for a baby to be left unsupervised. But this can cause suffocation or overheating, and your baby might even die.

Despite what some online product listings suggest, pillows are not recommended for babies until they are at least 12 months old. The safest place for your baby to sleep is on a clear, firm, flat surface.

Do you use a baby sleep pillow? Or perhaps you know someone who does?

Please STOP.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued a Safety Alert today warning parents and carers to stop using these products for babies under one.

These soft pillows and cushions are often marketed for baby sleep or for a baby to be placed unsupervised. But doing so can cause suffocation or overheating, which can lead to serious injury in babies, including death.

Despite what some online product listings suggest, pillows are not recommended for babies until they are at least 12 months old.

The safest place for your baby to sleep is on a clear, firm, flat surface.
