Hi, my name is Helen, I’m the resident nutrition and regulatory Manager here at HiPP. I have over twenty years of experience as a nutrition and regulatory expert, five of which have been within the infant nutrition setting. Before starting my role here at HiPP, I gained a range of experience throughout the food industry and have even worked for a short stint in the NHS. My journey into nutrition started when I was just 12 years old, my mum was referred to a Dietician after becoming ill. It was this experience that made me realise nutrition was the career path that I wanted to follow, I just loved the thought of food and nutrients being so impactful on someone’s health. After completing secondary education I made the decision to study nutrition at the University of Greenwich, where after four years, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. However, I didn’t stop there, I made the decision to continue studying and achieved further Diplomas in Public Health and Sports Nutrition. Besides from nutrition and regulations, I am a mum of one who loves spending my time with friends and family. I aim to bring my nutritional expertise to expecting, new or third or fourth time parents, to help guide you through your little one’s infancy.

It is important to give the quantity and quality of the foods and drinks you’re consuming some thought to ensure you are receiving all the energy and nutrients you need to produce milk for your baby, and to optimise your own health
