Feeding Baby

Are you having a baby? I guarantee you will need to feed that baby. Whether your baby is fed by bottle, breast, tube, SNS or a combination- your baby will be intaking breastmilk and/or formula in some way! Over our decades of experience with newborns we have learned that every baby is different! And we are constantly identifying and solving problems that arise when feeding newborn babies. These experiences, combined with our trainings, have given us unique insights into supporting parents as they nourish their babies.

Are you planning to breastfeed? Do you have questions about breastfeeding your newborn? How long do you breastfeed a newborn on each side? How do you prepare for breastfeeding? What is the best way to breastfeed?

Are you planning on offering your baby a bottle? Do you want to learn about how to bottle feed a newborn? How to mix european formula? How often should a baby be offered a bottle? How big is a newborn’s belly? What’s the best bottle position for feeding a newborn?

Or maybe you are already breastfeeding or bottlefeeding and keep running into problems. Is your baby making clicking noises when they drink? Does your baby spit up the entire bottle after feeding? Are your nipples sore and raw? Does your baby fall asleep immediately after feeding? Is your newborn reverse cycling when you go back to work? Does your baby cry in pain after feeding?

We answer all these questions and more in our expert feeding articles. If you’d like all of our insight delivered in an easy to follow video format, then check our our video series!
