BRISTOL, ENGLAND, August 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) Cow & Gate's nutritionists and weaning experts have developed a free 5-step weaning plan to show mums how to wean their babies. Through a series of baby food recipes, feeding charts and other useful information, the plan guides mums from first spoonfuls to three pureed meals a day in five easy to follow steps.
As the UK's leading brand in baby feeding, Cow & Gate pooled its expertise to create the easy to use plan - each step includes a goal, tips, advice, shopping lists and money-off coupons. The response from mums has already been very positive. In May 2012, a survey showed that 97% of those who used it said they would recommend it to other mums , and in January 2012 9 out of 10 mums said they now feel more confident about weaning babies - a direct result of Cow & Gate's advice and guidance.
The 5 steps laid out in the plan are:
- First spoonfuls
- Introducing breakfast
- Introducing variety
- Introducing meat, fish and alternatives
- Establishing three meals a day
Cow & Gate has designed the 5 step weaning plan to present information in a way that mums aren't overwhelmed and can easily find their way through the process of introducing their baby to their first foods - something they know a lot of mums worry about.
There's also a feeding chart to go with each step, so mums can keep track of what their baby enjoyed eating. The chart encourages mums to keep trying the foods their baby may be less keen on, as it can take several attempts before a baby decides whether they like something or not. Mums will also find plenty of baby food recipes to help them produce delicious and tempting foods for their baby to enjoy.
With a combination of the 5-step weaning plan and 24 hour support on the phone from baby care advisors, Cow & Gate can offer mums all the weaning advice and support they need for successfully weaning their babies.
In addition to the information supplied in the weaning guide, the Cow & Gate website has a plethora of articles covering weaning and many other aspects of pregnancy and becoming a mum, from birth right through to toddlerhood. Also, there's an online Live Chat feature where mums can access expert one-to-one support instantly.

US risks losing out to Asia in medical research, U-M team warns
2012-08-23
Medical research saves lives, suffering and dollars – while also creating jobs and economic activity. The United States has long led the world, with hundreds of thousands of jobs and marketable discoveries generated by government research funding every year. Top students from around the world come here for training -- and often stay to help fuel medical innovation.
Now, warns a team of researchers in the New England Journal of Medicine, the U.S. risks losing out to Asia as the hub of medical discovery.
The result, they caution, could be a "brain drain" of top young ...
Foreclosures impact California voter turnout
2012-08-23
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — California neighborhoods reeling from record foreclosures also experienced lower levels of voter turnout in the 2008 presidential election, according to researchers at the University of California, Riverside.
Voters who lost their homes were not the only ones who appear to have been affected, sociologist Vanesa Estrada-Correa and political scientist Martin Johnson determined in a study believed to be the first to assess the effect of foreclosure on political participation. Voters who remained in neighborhoods impacted by foreclosure were less likely ...
Underground solution to starving rice plants
2012-08-23
Scientists have pinpointed a gene that enables rice plants to produce around 20% more grain by increasing uptake of phosphorus, an important, but limited, plant nutrient.
The discovery unlocks the potential to improve the food security of rice farmers with the lowest value phosphorus-deficient land allowing them to grow more rice to add to global production, and earn more.
The gene – called PSTOL1 which stands for Phosphorus Starvation Tolerance – helps rice grow a larger, better root system and thereby access more phosphorus. Farmers can apply phosphorus fertilizers ...
The Milky Way now has a twin (or 2)
2012-08-23
Research presented today at the International Astronomical Union General Assembly in Beijing has found the first group of galaxies that is just like ours, a rare sight in the local Universe.
The Milky Way is a fairly typical galaxy on its own, but when paired with its close neighbours - the Magellanic Clouds - it is very rare, and could have been one of a kind, until a survey of our local Universe found another two examples just like us.
Astronomer Dr Aaron Robotham, jointly from the University of Western Australia node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy ...
New insights into why humans are more susceptible to cancer and other diseases
2012-08-23
Chimpanzees rarely get cancer, or a variety of other diseases that commonly arise in humans, but their genomic DNA sequence is nearly identical to ours. So, what's their secret? Researchers reporting in the September issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics, a Cell Press journal, have found that differences in certain DNA modifications, called methylation, might play a role.
The researchers discovered hundreds of genes that display different patterns of methylation between the two species. These different patterns of methylation lead to different levels of expression, ...
