Guilt Free Bottle Feeding
Madeleine Morris – co author of Guilt Free Bottle Feeding explains what prompted her and paediatrician Dr Sasha Howard to write the book. When I look at Doctor and Daughter it takes me back to those exhilarating, exhausting first days of motherhood. So many questions! So many answers to those questions and none of them the same! Except, that is, the answer to the question, “should I breastfeed?” The answer from almost everyone we encounter as new mums, from the midwife, to the NCT instructor to the lady next to you on the bus is, “Yes.” And this is entirely reasonable.

It also goes without saying that most educated women know that breastmilk is indeed the best form of nourishment you can give your child. But time and time again we hear health workers, politicians and journalists commentating on the unsatisfactorily low breastfeeding rates in this country. The pros of breastfeeding are obvious. It is free, (compared with £10 a week on formula for 12 months – £500), natural (there are stories of crushed fish bones in formula, incidents of glass shavings in the powder, the possibility of […]
Mixing bottle and breast – it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
by Charlotte Young IBCLC, founder www.milkmatters.org.uk & www.analyticalarmadillo.co.uk Also by Charlotte Young “How to Prevent and Treat Sore Nipples” Several mums I’ve spoken to recently have mentioned it’s hard to find good information about mix-feeding. Often breastfeeding websites don’t discuss it as they promote exclusive breastfeeding and the reasons for doing so. Similarly some mums are nervous about asking too many breastmilk questions on bottle-feeding forums, for fear it may upset those not breastfeeding at all. Mix feeding, combination feeding – whatever you prefer to call it, almost seems to fall into a no mans land. What concerns me about this is hearing […]
