Breastfeeding is best for babies and provides many benefits. It is important that, in preparation for and during breastfeeding, you eat a healthy, balanced diet. Combined breast and bottle feeding in the first weeks of life may reduce the supply of your own breastmilk, and reversing the decision not to breastfeed is difficult. The social and financial implications of using an infant milk should be considered. Improper use of an infant milk or inappropriate foods or feeding methods may present a health hazard. If you use an infant milk, you should follow manufacturer’s instructions for use carefully – failure to follow the instructions may make your baby ill. Always consult your doctor, midwife or health visitor for advice about feeding your baby.

Sterilising baby bottles

How to sterilise bottles

There are various sterilising methods available and our downloadable step-by-step guide covers each of them. Whichever one you choose, a simple but thorough sterilising routine will help to keep your baby's bottles, pumps, teats and other equipment safe, reducing the chance of infection.
