If you’ve decided to bottle feed, you may be worried about what formula to buy, what equipment you’ll need and how to get the hang of feeding your baby when everything is so new.
Best Start in Life provide lots of helpful information and advice on bottle feeding, including:
- How to make up a feed
- How to bottle feed
- Bottle feeding challenges
- Bottle feeding help and support
However, if you have any worries or concerns, the best thing to do is speak to your midwife or health visitor.
The safest way to bottle feed your baby is to hold them close to you. Babies should never be fed a bottle lying in a pram, cot, bouncy chair, beanbag, sofa, or on the floor.
