Feeding Support & Resources
Why breastmilk is uniquely suited to your baby’s needs, with practical ideas for getting started, seeking support and caring for yourself while breastfeeding.
It is recommended to exclusively breastfeed your baby until around 6 months of age. There is no alternative to breastmilk that will provide the same optimal balance of nutrition and protection during a baby’s growth and development. However, sometimes when breastfeeding may be difficult or not be possible, bottle feeding may be introduced.
This article provides some advice on bottle feeding and answers to some commonly asked questions.

We believe breastfeeding is best to provide ideal nutrition for babies, and other important health benefits. Good nutrition for mums is important throughout pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding. However, we understand breastfeeding may not be an option for everyone. To support you on your feeding journey, we recommend speaking to a healthcare professional. Introducing formula either partially or exclusively may reduce breast milk supply, which isn’t easy to re-establish. It is also important to consider the social and financial impacts of formula, such as potential cost of providing formula until your baby is 12 months old. When using infant formula, always follow the preparation instructions carefully. Improper use can make your baby unwell.
