Infant feeding
Feeding your baby can be a wonderful experience and an important part of bonding with your baby. Whether you breastfeed or bottle-feed, we are here to help you and your baby have the best possible start.
Before giving birth you can begin by connecting with your baby in pregnancy. Chatting or singing to your baby helps bonding, as babies can hear your voice and will recognise these familiar sounds after birth.
Responding to your baby’s kicks and rubbing or massaging your bump are lovely ways to connect. Building a relationship with your unborn child can help with recognising your baby’s needs.
