Is your baby on the correct formula? About 50% of all babies aren’t.

Do you know how to tell if your baby is on the right formula?

Here are some tips to determine if your baby is on the correct formula
If you answer yes to any of these questions then the answer is no:
· Is your baby drinking more or less than he should for his weight or than the tin says
· Are they struggling with constipation
· Are they struggling with reflux, excessive winds and cramps
· Are they demanding feeds more often than 4hrly (formula fed babies shouldn’t be demand fed) or drinking more bottles than the tin says eg tin says 5 per day but baby drinking 6
· Are they gaining more weight than they should – remember a fat baby is not a healthy baby. They shouldn’t be gaining more than 300g per week
· Do they wake often at night and during the day
· Is baby generally miserable especially after feeding
· Does your baby not sleep well or is over 6months and demanding night bottles
Formula fed babies should not be demand fed, only breastfed babies are demand fed. If they are drinking more than they should then this can cause reflux, cramps, constipation and poor sleeping. This is due to the fact that formula is designed to take 4hrs to digest

If you are feeding more often than 4hrs, then it means you are either overfeeding or it is a formula that is not sustaining babies hunger and baby is not getting the correct nutrients.

There is also no such thing as a hungry baby – a baby that is not satisfied by the formula means that it is the wrong formula.

FORMULAS MUST ONLY BE RECOMMENDED BY A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL TRAINED IN FORMULAS, NOT FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND FACEBOOK GROUPS WITH GOOD INTENTIONS AND NOT TRAINING. The reason is each formula is recommended on assessment of a baby who is an individual in their own right.

These are not Paediatrician problems.

I have trained in both Infant and Paediatric nutrition and pride myself in keeping up to date with the formula on the market. In my feeding clinic, I offer professional support and counselling whether you are Breastfeeding, Formula feeding or Introducing solids or even wanting to Breastfeed and are still pregnant.

In the feeding clinic, I will weigh and assess the baby, answer any questions and advise, and observe feeding where necessary. All consultations are one on one.

Each consult will be 30min long and will be R450 but I also submit directly to most Medical aid. Please inbox for me more info or to make an appointment or contact me on 0824009501.
At the end of the day though, we want happy babies, happy moms and happy families!

Does your baby have a feeding problem?

Are you concerned with any of the following:
· Reflux
· Cramping
· Colic
· Lactose intolerance or Cows milk protein allergy
· Constipation
· Bring up milk
· Complications such as thrush
· Does baby sleep badly
· Is baby gaining more than 300g a week or less than 150g a week
· Is your formula fed baby drinking more often than 4hrs – formula fed babies should not be demand fed. Feeding more often will result in reflux, cramps and even constipation
· Are they drinking more than they should for their weight
· Fighting their feeds
· Crying a lot especially during and after feeds

These are all indications of a feeding problem and can be sorted out with the correct advice and assistance by someone who specialises in Baby feeding.

During a feeding consult, I offer professional support and counselling whether you are Breastfeeding, Formula feeding or Introducing solids or even wanting to Breastfeed and are still pregnant.

During a feeding consult, I will weigh and assess the baby, answer any questions and advise, and observe feeding where necessary. All consultations are one on one. Each consult is 30min long and will be R450 but I submit to most Meducal aids too .I am also happy to help via video call on Whatsapp. Please inbox for me more info or to make an appointment or contact me on 0824009501.

HAPPY WOMENS DAY!
I am a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother. I am a nurse, midwife and lactation consultant. I am a friend of women and I am their advocate. I believe in building women up and not breaking them down.
Every woman’s success should be an inspiration to another. We’re strongest when we cheer each other on.

Does your baby appear to be uncomfortable and cry a lot?

Remember no baby should be uncomfortable and be crying and unhappy? It is an old wife’s tale that it is normal!

Does your baby show any of the following signs?
· Are they irritable, grizzling, or grunting as if they cant get comfortable
· Do they cry inconsolably or even scream
· Do they show signs of bloating, cramps or excessive gassiness
· Do they have frequent, watery and explosive poos which can be frothy or greenish in colour
· Do they push as if they want to poo
· Do they pull their faces and swallow as if a bitter taste
· Bring up fresh or curdled (lumpy) milk after and between feeds
· Do they pull their arms in to themselves with tight fists
· Do they have times of wakefulness due to discomfort
· Do they show frequent signs of wanting to suck
· Do they have weight gains higher than 300g per week
· Do they arch back or sideways, with squirming and wriggling
· Do they pedal their legs at times and at other pull them into themselves
· Do they gulp their milk at times but at other times pull away from breast or bottle, flailing arms and legs with much turning of head

These are all signs of a feeding problems! Correct your babies feeding and your baby will be a happy comfortable baby. No baby should be unhappy and uncomfortable. Don’t just accept their discomfort because they are under 3months. They should also not be on Medication. We should always find the cause, correct feeding first, and not medicating first! If correcting feeding doesn’t help, then medication is last resort. I try and keep babies off medications as much as possible as medications can cause problems by themselves

I run a feeding clinic to assist with all these problems. As a qualified lactation consultant and infant & paediatric feeding specialist, I assist parents with their babies feeding issues every day. Feel free to contact me at 0824009501 for set up an appointment, virtual consults can be organised for out of town moms, but in person is always best as I also do a physical examination.
A consult is a 30min session and is R450 cash. Consults can also be submitted directly to some medical aids
