Infant Feeding

Feeding Your Baby

Choosing how to feed your baby is the most important decision you will make on behalf of your baby.
How you feed your baby is a personal and individual choice and we will support you with whichever method you decide.
During your pregnancy you should have an opportunity to discuss feeding with your midwife. If you are expecting your first baby then information on both breast and formula feeding can be found in your ‘Birth to five Book’. You should have also received a free DVD at the beginning of your pregnancy entitled ‘Bump to Breastfeeding’, if you haven’t been given one then please ask your midwife for a copy or view on line at the following link:
