Feeding your baby with confidence

Breastfeeding tips

A deep latch is the foundation: wide-open mouth, more areola visible above than below. Comfort matters — pain usually means latch needs adjusting.

Bottle feeding & formula

Paced bottle feeding mimics the breast: baby upright, slow flow nipple, pauses every 20–30 seconds.

• Sterilize bottles for first 3 months
• Make formula exactly per instructions
• Hold baby — never prop a bottle

Starting solids

Most babies are ready around 6 months when they sit with support, show interest in food and have lost the tongue-thrust reflex. Start with iron-rich foods.

First-year nutrition

Milk remains the main calorie source under 12 months. Solids are exploration: textures, flavors, self-feeding skills.
