Guidance
Update information
January 2025: We have updated the NICE guideline on maternal and child nutrition (PH11, published March 2008 and updated in 2011). We have reviewed the evidence, and new recommendations are marked [2025].
We have retained recommendation 17 on weighing babies and young children from PH11. We have not reviewed the evidence or updated the wording apart from minor editorial and formatting changes for clarification. The wording from recommendation 17 appears in this update in the section on weighing babies and young children, and the recommendations are marked [2008] or [2011].
We have also updated the recommendations on weight management during pregnancy from the NICE guideline on weight management before, during and after pregnancy (PH27, published July 2010). We have reviewed the evidence, and new recommendations are marked [2025].
Please note that recommendations on weight management before and after pregnancy from NICE's guideline on weight management before, during and after pregnancy (PH27, published July 2010) have been updated in NICE's guideline on overweight and obesity management (NG246, published January 2025).
