Notification from Association of Directors for Public Health – The Baby Handbook Hub

A notification from Association of Directors for Public Health:

We have recently been made aware of ‘The Baby Handbook Hub’, which has published a range of resources, articles, images, and advertisements offering infant care advice. Unfortunately, much of this content appears to be unsafe, misleading, and misinformed due to the lack of evidence-based guidance.

While the materials are intended to provide advice from mothers to mothers, the absence of evidence presents a concerning risk to infant safety.

We have recently received this advice regarding ‘The Baby Handbook Hub’.  Please ensure that you and your staff teams are not recommending this as a resource for parents.

Thank you.
