Milk Matters Infant Feeding Solutions

Milk Matters Infant Feeding Solutions Our non judgemental consultants can help you meet your personal feeding goals.

IBCLCs specialising in difficult to feed breast & bottle fed babies babies (milk and solids) - tongue tie, reflux, colic, faltering growth, & other complex problems Breastfeeding:
The main focus of our work is on how to breastfeed rather than why, although we do cover the latter in some of our antenatal options and online information articles. Mums are often told they should breastfeed but when ni

***es are agony and baby doesn’t seem satisfied or is unsettled all night; she can face a barrage of conflicting (if well intentioned) advice. With effective support these common problems can often be easily overcome (and often prevented with the right information antenatally), but breastfeeding is rarely a one approach suits all solution and so we are trained to help you piece together the different factors that can influence feeding, from your labour and delivery right through to what’s happening here and now. Using this alongside accurate information as to how breastfeeding works (despite the myths and old wives tales, it’s a sound scientific model) we can help turn early babyhood into the babymoon it should be. Bottle Feeding:
Whether you are expressing and feeding your baby breastmilk, want to restart breastfeeding after a break or have chosen to formula feed, we can also help with feeding problems experienced when using a bottle. Slow or extremely rapid feeding, leaking milk at the corners of the mouth, shallow attachment/bottle refusal, wind, colic, reflux and general feeding problems can all be experienced by bottle feeding babies too.

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for nine weeks. The UK is expected to be the worst-hit major economy. Government sources are already warning of crippling shortages of fuel and medicines - and the official response so far is to monitor supplies and tell people not to panic.

Nobody is talking about what this means for formula-fed babies.

Here’s what you need to know.

There is no government emergency plan for infant formula. No strategic reserve. Food banks cannot legally accept or distribute it.

The market is controlled by three manufacturers accounting for over 90% of UK supply.

Formula depends on global ingredients - vitamin and mineral premixes, vegetable oils, specialist additives - that run through the same supply chains now under active pressure. British-made formula still depends on imported micronutrients. No brand is fully insulated.

Supplies are already depleting from existing stocks. Even if the strait reopened today, analysts estimate 4-6 weeks to stabilise and 8-13 weeks to return to normal.

For the general population this means price rises and less variety on shelves. For a family with a formula-dependent baby - especially one on specialist formula for CMPA, reflux, or prematurity - there is no safe alternative, no government backstop, and no safety net.

If your baby is on specialist formula, contact your GP today about contingency.

Do not water down formula under any circumstances - it causes serious harm.

If you’re pregnant and thinking about feeding choices - breastfeeding is the only option right now that doesn’t depend on a supply chain under active pressure. That’s information you have a right to have before your baby arrives.

Getting breastfeeding established takes support - ideally in place before birth, not after.

I’m opening free online antenatal breastfeeding support groups and relactation support groups for anyone who needs them.

To celebrate the launch of my new “formula fix” - thought i’d share some of the messages I’ve received from families over the years.

You are never alone in your confusion as a new parent.

The last one is my favourite 😂

If you’re trying to choose a formula, or thinking about switching, the label doesn’t actually tell you enough to make the decision.

You get a long ingredient list and a few claims, but nothing that shows you what to look at first or what to change if your baby has gas, reflux or is constipated.

Does organic matter? Which companies care about sustainability? I’ve got you covered.

This guide breaks down what’s in each formula, what the ingredients do, and how to choose based on your baby - not the packaging.

Launch price available for 7 days only.

INTRODUCTORY LAUCH PRICE! You’ve looked at all the different formulas. You’re still not sure. Whethe

How much did formula cost you this year?

The most expensive tin and the cheapest one on the shelf have to meet exactly the same nutritional standards.

But they’re not the same.
Different fats.
Different prebiotics.
Ditterent protein blends.

That’s why one baby is fine on it and another ends up constipated, gassy, or unsettled.
Price isn’t the answer.
Matching the formula is.

Bonya formula is being discontinued this summer.
If your baby’s on it - or you were considering it - now’s the time to work out what actually matters before you switch.

I’m starting a full UK formula breakdown this week - follow if you want to know what actually matters, and what’s just marketing.

You wouldn’t ask a mechanic why your cat’s sick. So why is everyone except an IBCLC giving you feeding advice?

Everyone has an opinion on your baby’s feeding. Almost none of them have the training to back it up.

IBCLCs complete 1000+ clinical hours and sit international board exams - specifically for this.

What you should be doing:

After you’ve finished sterilising

It’s best to leave bottles and teats in the steriliser or pan until you need them.

If you do take them out, put the teats and lids on the bottles straight away.

Wash and dry your hands before handling sterilised equipment. Better still, use some sterile tongs.

Assemble the bottles on a clean, disinfected surface or the upturned lid of the steriliser.

Signs a baby is feeding well from a bottle include a wide gape around the teat, the bottom lip rolled out and no clicking or leaking with a steady rhythm of sucking and swallowing.

If you’re not seeing these, or if feeds are messy and stressful, it is usually a sign the flow, latch or oral function needs checking rather than ‘just wind’.

If you are unsure, this is exactly what I support parents with every day. ♥️

Our Story

Breastfeeding & Bottle Feeding Support: As experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs), our non judgmental consultants and approach can help you meet your personal feeding goals.

Breastfeeding: the main focus of our work is on how to breastfeed rather than why. Problems such as painful feeds, an unsettled baby, slow weight gain and digestive complaints like wind can often be easily overcome with effective support - but breastfeeding is rarely a one approach suits all solution and so we’re trained to help you piece together the different factors that can influence feeding, from your labour and delivery right through to what’s happening here and now. Using this alongside accurate information as to how breastfeeding works (despite the myths and old wives tales, it’s a sound scientific model) we can help turn early babyhood into the babymoon it should be. Bottle Feeding: Whether you are expressing and feeding your baby breastmilk, want to restart breastfeeding after a break or have chosen to exclusively formula feed your baby - we can support you on your feeding journey. We can help with feeding problems experienced when using a bottle such as very slow or extremely rapid feeding, leaking milk at the corners of the mouth, shallow attachment/bottle refusal, wind, colic and reflux.
