Feedback Friday!

Paced Bottle Feeding

Paced bottle feeding is a way of feeding your baby responsively. It mimics the rhythm and flow breastfeeding and can be a useful tool for transitioning between breast and bottle, or even for fully bottle fed babies.

• Sit baby upright, leaving their head free
• Hold the bottle at 90°, half filling the teat with milk
• Rub the teat against the top lip, encouraging baby to open up to latch on to the bottle
• Take regular breaks to mimic the variable flow at the breast, and allow baby time to realise they're full
• Swap sides half way through the feed
• Feed responsively, rather than to a schedule, offering around 1-1.5oz per hour since last feed, up to 4oz per feed

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.
