🌸Our free drop in Breastfeeding β€˜Cafe’ is running today 1.30-3pm🌸

The Breastfeeding Cafe is a lovely space to practise breastfeeding out and about and have a chat with other mums.🌸

Julie will be available for you to discuss any feeding issues. Unfortunately, we are NOT able to provide tongue tie/function assessments during the session. This is because more time is required to assess and discuss appropriately. 🌸

All are welcome, whether you are breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or combination feeding, at any stage of your feeding journey.🌸

🍼 Struggling to find milk for your formula-fed baby because of the ?

TOP TIPS
🀱 If you’re mixed feeding, more if you can

1️⃣ You can use any first infant formula for 0-12 months, whether powdered or liquid – they all provide the nutrients your baby needs. You may notice changes in your baby’s poo but switching between first infant formulas is safe

2️⃣ Follow on formula can be used for 6-12 months (whether powdered or liquid) but NEVER give follow-on formula to babies under 6 months old

3️⃣ 4️⃣ NEVER give growing up or toddler milks or drinks to babies under 12 months

❌ Be aware that no formula milks are necessary at all for children over 12 months

❗ Only use a specialised formula milk (lactose-free, anti-reflux, comfort) on the advice of a medical professional

REMEMBER
🦠 Powdered formula milks are NOT STERILE: Always follow the NHS advice on making up and storing formula to minimise the risk of bacterial contamination which can make your baby sick.

πŸ€– Formula preparation machines often do not produce water that is hot enough to kill any bacteria in the formula powder, so it’s best to avoid using them at all.

For more *independent*, expert information on formula for parents who use formula to feed their babies, see www.firststepsnutrition.org/parents-carers
