Infant Feeding

There are benefits of both breast and bottle feeding for your baby. UNICEF’s Baby Friendly Initiative advises all babies receive only breastmilk for the first six months of their lives, and as much as possible we support families to achieve this. We recognise that every situation, and every family, is individual though, and how you choose to feed your baby is a personal choice which we will support.

The information in the next sections has been created to give you information about breastmilk, breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
