Feeding Your Newborn

Breastfeeding and bottle-feeding guidance

Feeding Your Baby

Whether you choose to breastfeed, formula feed, or combine both, fed is best.

Breastfeeding Tips

  • Feed on demand - usually every 2-3 hours
  • Ensure proper latching to avoid pain
  • Stay hydrated and eat nutritious meals
  • Ask for help if you're struggling

Formula Feeding

  • Follow formula instructions carefully
  • Sterilize bottles and equipment
  • Hold your baby during feeds for bonding
  • Never prop a bottle

Remember

Every baby is different. What matters most is that your baby is gaining weight and producing wet nappies.
