Breast fed is best fed

Breast feeding is best for babies. As a sole source of nutrition for the first 6 months of life, it meets all their nutritional needs as Mother Nature intended. Breast milk helps to strengthen your baby's immune system and provide support to your baby's developing digestive system. It's also a wonderful and emotional experience for both baby and mum. This is your time to bond and enjoy getting to know each other!

In preparation for and during breast feeding, it's important that mums eat a healthy, balanced diet.

Combined breast and bottle feeding in the first weeks of life may reduce the supply of your own breast milk, and reversing the decision not to breast feed is difficult. If you're thinking about bottle feeding your baby, always seek professional advice first - from your doctor, midwife or healthcare professional.

If you are able, breastfeeding is best. It provides all the nutritional health benefits as Mother Nature intended. In readying for and during breastfeeding, it's important that mums eat a healthy, balanced diet.
