Formula doesn’t guarantee better sleep.

While it may take slightly longer to digest, research shows no consistent difference in long-term sleep patterns between breastfed and formula-fed babies.

Sleep development is driven by brain maturation, not just feeding type.

Feedback Friday!

"Breastfeeding Buddies is a fantastic service. Without this group I probably would have given up breastfeeding weeks ago as I was really starting to struggle. However, being able to chat to other mums and discuss tips and tricks to help work through issues that I’ve had, has been amazing. Sometimes its not just breastfeeding we discuss! Also, the support and advice the buddies offer is brilliant. It’s been very reassuring as a first time mum knowing I have the support available. Me and my little boy are now 3 months into our breastfeeding journey. Which is amazing as I didn’t think I’d get past 3 weeks! Thank you girls!"

It's great to hear what our parents have to say about the service, and helps us to shape what we offer.

If you have any feedback for the service, please contact the service on 0333 005 0095 or 07759 708090.

Following on from our Myth Busting Monday post...

So often we hear that a mum "needs" to express so a partner or family member can bond with baby.

But bonding isn’t about bottles. Secure attachments can be developed through love, touch, and everyday care, not just through feeding.

Lots of cuddles, skin-to-skin, talking, soothing, nappy changes, bath time and play are all great ways to bond.

Starting solids is a big step and timing matters!

According to NHS guidance, most babies are ready for solid foods at around 6 months, when they show these developmental signs:

✔️ Sitting up with minimal support and holding their head steady
✔️ Good hand-eye coordination (they can pick up food and bring it to their mouth)
✔️ Swallowing food rather than pushing it back out

🚫 Not signs of readiness:
• Chewing fists
• Wanting extra milk feeds
• Waking more during the night
• Watching others eat

These behaviours are common and don’t necessarily mean your baby is ready for solids. Milk, breastmilk or formula, should still be their main source of nutrition at this stage.

Trust the signs, not the pressure 💛

Myth Busting Monday!

Bonding isn’t about bottles. Babies build secure attachments through love, touch, and everyday care, not just through feeding.

Partners and other care givers can bond with their baby through cuddles, skin-to-skin, talking, soothing, nappy changes, bath time and play.

Feeding is just one of many ways to connect. Presence and responsiveness are what really build the bond.

"Lucy was amazing, she supported me and lifted me up in some moments where I felt very low and hopeless about breastfeeding. Now my baby is almost 9 weeks and I'm still going strong with my breastfeeding. Invaluable help."

It's great to hear what our parents have to say about the service, and helps us to shape what we offer.
