No Baby Goes Hungry: Ensuring Infant and Toddler Food Security [1]

[]

Date: 2025-07

SNAP helps families afford nutritious food, preventing malnutrition and developmental delays caused by food insecurity. No baby should go hungry, yet reductions in SNAP benefits would make it harder for families to provide the nourishment their children need to thrive. Protecting access to nutritious food is essential for babies’ well-being and long-term development.

This resource center is designed for early childhood professionals working with families affected by food insecurity and changes to SNAP benefits or other essential services. It provides trauma-informed guidance, tools, and connections to help professionals support the developmental and emotional well-being of babies, toddlers, and their caregivers facing financial instability and limited access to healthcare and nutrition.
