ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT FORMULA FEEDING ANSWERED*⠀⠀
⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
Here are some regularly asked questions from some if my Mummy clients about formula feeding and some (hopefully) reassuring answers:⠀⠀

🍼 What infant formula should I use? It doesn’t matter what brand you use as they are all very similar, but talk to your midwife if health visitor before choosing a soya based formula⠀⠀
🍼 Does “hungry baby milk” help if you have a hungry baby? There’s no evidence of this.⠀⠀
🍼 Should I move onto “follow on milk” when my baby is 6 months old? No. The best thing to do is stick to first infant formula throughout the first year ⠀⠀
🍼 How long do I need to use formula milk for? Once your baby is one year old, and is getting vitamins and minerals from food, you can use cows milk instead.⠀⠀
🍼 I’m not sure if I want to breastfeed. Where can I get some advice? I always recommend talking to your doctor or health visitor when thinking about how to feed your baby. It can also sometimes be helpful to chat to a breastfeeding expert as they might be able to reassure you or answer some of your questions. Get in touch with me if you’d like some breastfeeding expert recommendations
🍼 should I feel guilty if I decide I want to bottle feed? OMG ABSOLUTELY NOT! Just so long as you and your baby are happy and healthy that’s all that matters!!⠀
