Feeding is about more than nutrition. It's also a chance to build closeness and connection with your baby. Every feeding journey is different and, if feeding doesn't go to plan, feeding support is available to help you find an approach that works for you and your baby.
How you feed your baby is a personal decision and every family's circumstances are different. Breastfeeding, expressed breastmilk, infant formula or a combination of these can all support your baby's growth and development. You deserve respectful, evidence-based information and support to help you make an informed decision.
You can ask your healthcare team:
- how to recognise feeding cues
- how to support breastfeeding
- what to do if you're worried about your milk supply
- how your baby's feeding plan may change over time.
