- Breastfeeding is best for babies. It is
important that, while breastfeeding, you eat a healthy, well-balanced
diet and rest whenever you can. For help with breastfeeding,
speak to your health professional or breastfeeding counselor.
- Infant milks are intended to replace breast milk when mothers
cannot or choose not to breastfeed. It is recommended that
they should be used only on the advice of a doctor, midwife,
health visitor, public nurse, dietitian or pharmacist.
- If you are considering changing over from breastfeeding,
talk to your midwife, health visitor, or breastfeeding counselor
first, as it is not easy to go back once you've made the
change. Partial bottle feeding with an infant milk may reduce
the supply of your breast milk.
- The cost and social implications of using an infant milk
should be considered when deciding how to feed your baby.
If you choose to bottle feed, it is very important that you
use an infant milk throughout the first year (follow-on milks
can be used from 6 months). Cow's milk is not recommended
as the main milk drink until after 1 year of age.
- If you use an infant milk or follow-on milk, it is important
for your baby's health that you follow all preparation instructions
very carefully. Failure to choose an appropriate feed
or to use it correctly can be harmful to your baby’s
health.
- The decision to begin weaning, or to include a follow-on
milk formula before 6 months of age, should only be made
on the advice of a doctor, health visitor, public health
nurse, dietitian or pharmacist, based upon the individual
infant's specific growth and development needs.
