it may help if someone else gives the first bottle feeds, so that your baby is not near you and smelling your breast milk It's best to try and feed your baby during these early feeding cues as a crying baby is difficult to feed. Building up your milk supply You may find 8 times isn’t quite enough to meet baby’s milk requirements. Some mums choose to ‘power pump’ which mimics cluster feeding behaviour of young babies. Power Pumping involves one full expressing session, following by several short sessions of 5-10 minutes expressing, with 10 minutes rest breaks in between. This is known as "feeding on demand" and will ensure you maintain a good milk supply. Topping up with first infant formula Feed your baby as often as they want and for as long as they want. This is called responsive feeding. In other words, responding to your baby's needs. It's also known as on-demand or baby-led feeding.

There are ways of maintaining breastfeeding, if this is what you want. You can breastfeed alongside the use of formula milk, and/or express your milk and give it to your baby if direct breastfeeding is not working well enough. I don't know whether I will want to breastfeed Low level drinking during breastfeeding is not linked with shorter breastfeeding duration or adverse outcomes in infants up to 12 months of age.

National Helpline number 0800 917 7650. We know from research that these negative feelings can be very real. Logically, of course, guilt is misplaced – guilt is what you feel when you deliberately and consciously decide to do something you know to be wrong, and this does not apply with a baby who needs to be fed! But feeding produces emotional responses. The reality of the situation is that most people don’t judge or criticise you, but you might still be sensitive to their comments and maybe ‘read’ them in that way. Formula milk does not provide the same protection from illness and does not give you any health benefits. Health benefits of breastfeeding for your baby

Occasionally this let-down reflex can be so strong that your baby coughs and splutters. Your midwife, health visitor or breastfeeding supporter can help with this.

Mennella JA, Gerrish CJ. (1998) Effects of exposure to alcohol in mother’s milk on infant sleep. Pediatrics. 101:e2-e2. Available at: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9565435/ It's never too early to start thinking about how you're going to feed your baby. But you do not have to make up your mind until your baby is born. There are lots of groups and drop-ins, some specially designed for pregnant women who want to know more about breastfeeding. You can find out more by asking your midwife, health visitor, local peer supporter or GP. Or visit your local Children's Centre. Studies have shown that a mum’s alcohol consumption while breastfeeding might negatively affect their child’s sleep. A small study of 12 babies found babies exposed to alcohol though breastmilk might sleep for shorter periods but more often during a day, although their total amount of sleep in the three hours after consuming milk including alcohol was not significantly different to days when the mum didn’t drink (Mennella and Beauchamp, 1991).

Food bank staff and volunteers make a vital contribution but cannot guarantee a timely or consistent supply of infant formula as they rely on donations which may not be suitable. In the first 48 hours, your baby is likely to have only 2 or 3 wet nappies. Wet nappies should then become more frequent, with at least 6 every 24 hours from the fifth day onwards. We know times are really tough for many new parents and passionately believe they should be able to swiftly access the care and support they need for themselves and their babies, when they need it. Responsive feeding and skin-to-skin are just as important for a bottle-fed baby as a nursing baby. Skin-to-skin has numerous benefits for mum and baby, and can help stimulate milk supply, even if baby cannot nurse.Wilson et al (2017) Alcohol consumption by breastfeeding mothers: Frequency, correlates and infant outcomes.

Food and babybanks want to help and say they are often the first place parents turn to, but currently advice from aid organisation Unicef says formula shouldn't be given out because of safety concerns, ITV News Correspondent Rupert Evelyn reports Hands-on expressing and massage help the milk flow and the breasts drain evenly and efficiently. Some mum’s find warm compresses or help too. Research now suggests it’s the barley and hops that might increase a mum’s milk supply rather than the alcohol. That’s because the effect was similar whether it was alcoholic beer or non-alcoholic beer (Lactmed, 2019).Don’t get complacent. As mentioned earlier, milk supply will ideally increase steadily within the first couple of weeks. Some mum’s will be expressing for a poorly or premature baby who only requires tiny amounts of milk. This means there could be a surplus of milk produced each day.
