As we all know, Nanny is obsessed with how much we eat and the high sugar content of our diet. As such, she has bombarded us with propaganda warning us about obesity etc.
I was therefore a tad surprised the other day, to read that Nanny's chums in the NHS are telling some mothers to feed babies junk food to help them
overcome feeding problems.
Leaflets distributed by Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to families attending feeding clinic appointments with young
children recommend feeding babies aged over eight months crisps, chocolate
bars, fried foods and sugary sweets.
The
Telegraph notes that the leaflet suggests “finger foods” under three categories: “Bite and
Dissolve”, “Bite and Squash/Suck” and “Easy Chew Food”. Wotsits, Quavers,
Skips and Pom-Bears are among the crisps to feature under “Bite and
Dissolve”, as well as Mini Cheddars and meringue.
The document states that Kit Kats, Crunchies, Milky Bars and Ripple chocolate
bars are also suitable “if a child sucks food well”.
The leaflet also recommends fried onion rings, Flumps, Turkish Delight and Iced Gems.
Tracey Nutter (no puns please), director of nursing at Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,
said that the leaflet was the “first of several documents given to a small
number of parents with babies and toddlers who have significant feeding
problems and are failing to progress onto solid food for a variety of
medical or developmental reasons.....not intended as meal replacements or as a means to put on
weight.”
Call me old fashioned, but the advice sounds bollocks to me. Most certainly it will further confuse those who are subjected to the daily bombardment of Nanny's food/drink/health propaganda.
