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.
