Nursing & Feeding

Making the decision to breastfeed a baby is a very big choice to make. If it is possible, this is considered by many to be the best, most natural and healthy way to feed a newborn. Getting started with baby nursing, however, is no walk in the park. The truth is it can seem very "unnatural" to a first-time mother and it can be painful initially. To make the most of baby nursing and really give the prospect a go, it does pay to have a few tips at the ready to overcome any issues that might arise. Feeding an infant is not an easy task. Infants have a very complex feeding pattern and feeding needs. An adult can eat many different kinds of foods. But infant feeding is more complicated than for adults since it entails extreme caution with what bottle feeding supplies products to use and what formula to prepare.

Take it slow. New mothers are not natural born pros at baby nursing. The truth is many babies aren't either. Take it slow, get used to each other and let nature take its course. If breastfeeding is meant to be, both mother and baby will get the hang of it. Practicality and safety are the most important considerations in feeding your child.
