But what about breastfeeding and drinking alcohol? Most experts agree that drinking small amounts of alcohol won’t hurt your baby, however opinions can vary over the amount of alcohol that is safe for a breastfeeding mother to drink. This article looks at the recommendations around breastfeeding and drinking alcohol and answers frequently asked questions.]]> 2018-09-19 12:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine15/himqnkie96gq/wish/283395091 Reflux katherine15 https://padlet.com/katherine15/himqnkie96gq/wish/284720598 2018-09-23 10:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine15/himqnkie96gq/wish/284720598 Paced bottle feeding katherine15 https://padlet.com/katherine15/himqnkie96gq/wish/443606484 Paced bottle feeding can help you feed your baby more slowly and develop their suck reflex.

Many of them claim to be closer to breastfeeding in some way, whether it is the shape or size of the teat, the rate of flow of milk, the softness of the material or something about the sucking mechanism. Unfortunately, most of these claims are poorly researched and simply a ploy to increase sales. Although there is no single “best bottle” for breastfeeding, and we can’t rely on advertising claims, there are certain bottle teat characteristics that seem to help preserve a baby’s breastfeeding technique.]]> 2020-03-10 12:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine15/himqnkie96gq/wish/457526641 Refux myth busting katherine15 https://padlet.com/katherine15/himqnkie96gq/wish/457589220 Reflux, spitting up or possetting are all names used to describe babies bringing back some of the milk that they swallowed earlier. Some spitting up is quite normal in young babies, this may simply be how they deal with too much milk or anything that doesn’t agree with them. This article looks at the reasons babies have reflux and answers frequently asked questions.]]> 2020-03-10 13:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine15/himqnkie96gq/wish/457589220 Information about formula katherine15 https://padlet.com/katherine15/himqnkie96gq/wish/473042564 The different types of infant formula, and other infant milks, marketed for babies and young children can seem confusing when you see lots of different ones on the supermarket shelf, but the information you need as a parent or carer is really quite simple. The majority of infants who are formula fed or mixed fed should be given a first infant milk (sometimes called first stage or stage 1 milk) throughout the first year.
    All infant formula on the UK market must meet compositional regulations, so all products are perfectly ok to feed a baby. More expensive brands still have to meet the same compositional standards as cheaper brands. In this section you will find answers to questions you may have about infant formula (or other infant milks) and some information on making up infant formula safely and responsive bottle feeding.

    Multiples are more likely to be born early and we know that very small or premature babies can find it difficult to breastfeed at the beginning.  If you are unable to feed your babies straight away it doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to breastfeed.

    Spending time with your babies, giving them skin-to-skin time with you or your partner and expressing breastmilk regularly, can all help babies to get going with breastfeeding.  Talk to the hospital staff and your midwife about how they can support you to feed your babies in the way you want to.
