Feeding your baby
Breast, bottle, or both — fed, loved and responsive is what matters, and every guide here starts from that. Pick the one that matches how you're feeding right now.
Breastfeeding Breastfeeding is a lovely, complete way to feed your baby. Your milk adapts to your baby as they grow, and every feed offers comfort and closeness as well as food. If this is the path you've chosen, this guide is here to help it go well. Breast + expressed Feeding your baby with a mix of breastfeeds and bottles of your expressed milk — or with expressed milk alone — is a genuinely good way to feed a baby. It's the same milk, with the same benefits, delivered in a way that fits your life. Breast + formula Combining breastfeeding with formula is a good, complete way to feed a baby — full stop. A huge proportion of families feed exactly this way, and your baby gets the benefits of your milk alongside the reliability of formula. Formula Formula feeding is a safe, nourishing, loving way to feed your baby. Modern infant formula is tightly regulated to meet all of a baby's nutritional needs, and babies grow and thrive on it every day, everywhere.
