Feeding

Love the milk you give

There’s something so very special about feeding your baby, whether you’re breast feeding or bottle feeding. Every time your baby snuggles in to feed, the unique bond between the two of you becomes even stronger.

Deciding how you’re going to feed your baby is a decision only you can make. Breast feeding is best, though some mums may not be able to breast feed or may choose to bottle feed. Your healthcare professional will be able to provide you with lots of information about feeding your baby, but also talk to friends with babies, your mum and other mums about their experiences of feeding – and if you’d like more information on bottle feeding, ask us!

SMA Nutrition has been providing baby nutrition and advice for over 80 years, so we’ve got a vast amount of experience, which we’re only too happy to share. Read on for lots of information and tips about breast feeding, bottle feeding, baby milk, weaning and more!
