Some babies take to bottle-feeding straightaway, others need a little gentle encouragement. To help you out we’ve compiled some advice to help you and baby adjust: It’s recommended to breastfeed for as long as you can, however when breastfeeding isn’t possible, you can use formula to feed your baby. When making the decision to move from breastfeeding to formula feeding or combination feeding there are a few things to consider before doing so: Some babies will refuse a bottle and expect a breastfeed if they can smell mum nearby. So try letting someone other than mum give the first feeds It is recommended that a powdered formula feed should be made up as and when you need it, but that’s not always possible when you’re out and about or when going to childcare, so here’s some guidelines: This table is a guide only; your baby may need more or less than the volumes stated.

If possible, make the change slowly so you and your baby have time to adjust. Removing just one breastfeed a week will give your body time to learn to produce less milk and will prevent your breasts from becoming engorged or leaking. Before you start bottle feeding your newborn there are a few basic items you need to get going. Babies tend to have around 6 feeds a day, so it’s worth having enough equipment for these feeds to allow time for sterilising. You don’t want to keep a hungry baby waiting!You’ll see bubbles inside the bottle as your baby feeds, if you can’t see any bubbles or the teat goes flat, gently move the teat around their mouth The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended that pregnant women and new mothers be informed on the benefits and superiority of breastfeeding – in particular the fact that it provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for babies. Mothers should be given guidance on the preparation for, and maintenance of, lactation, with special emphasis on the importance of a well-balanced diet both during pregnancy and after delivery. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks should be discouraged since it will have a negative effect on breastfeeding. Similarly, mothers should be warned of the difficulty of reversing a decision not to breastfeed. Before advising a mother to use an infant formula, she should be advised of the social and financial implications of her decision: for example, if a baby is exclusively bottle-fed, more than one can (400 g) per week will be needed, so the family circumstances and costs should be kept in mind. Mothers should be reminded that breast milk is not only the best, but also the most economical food for babies. If a decision to use an infant formula is taken, it is important to give instructions on correct preparation methods, emphasising that unboiled water, unsterilised bottles or incorrect dilution can all lead to illness.
