⭐Top Tip⭐

When latching, try to aim your baby’s chin to make first contact with your breast. This helps them achieve a deeper, more comfortable latch, reducing ni**le pain and making feeding more effective 💕

⭐Top Tip!⭐

Skin to skin helps to release oxytocin, and dads and other carers can really benefit from it too and strengthen their bonds with baby ❤️

⭐Did You Know?⭐

Oxytocin is nicknamed the 'love' hormone and it is released every time you cuddle, look at, smell or breastfeed your baby! 💖

Not only does it help to release milk in a letdown, but it strengthens the emotional bond between you both, helping you both feel safe and connected 💕

Do formula companies sabotage breastfeeding?

These bottles of formula come in a packet of 6 marketed as a ‘First Baby Milk Formula Starter Pack From Birth’.

Although it comes with a disclaimer on the box that ‘Newborn babies may take only small amounts of infant formula to start with’ what sort of message does the size of this bottle send to parents worried that their newborn is having enough of their breastmilk?

Research tells us that on average in the first 24 hours a newborn’s feed will average about 7ml...meaning this bottle is 10 TIMES larger!

For many new babies 4-5 swallows of colostrum per feed is all they need in the first 24 hours.

The formula company also advises that once opened any unused formula be disposed of within one hour meaning a lot is going to be wasted in this kit making it an expensive and non environmentally friendly option.
