Thinking of breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding
is definitely the best way to feed your baby and gives your baby the very best
start in life. Your milk is made for your baby and changes during each feed,
and throughout the day according to your baby’s needs. YOUR milk is designed
for YOUR baby.
Formula
milk is made from cow’s milk. It is a standard recipe for all babies. It does
not change according to your baby’s needs as breast milk does.
Breastfeeding
provides your baby with so much more than food; breastfeeding offers your baby
comfort and protection too.
Why
not come along to one of our breastfeeding workshops for expectant parents. Ask
your midwife or contact Wharncliffe Ward for further information.
