4. Babies 0-12 months Health benefits for your baby: Breastfeeding is the healthiest way to feed your baby. Exclusive breastfeeding (giving your baby breast milk only) is recommended for around the first six months (26 weeks) of your baby’s life. After that, giving your baby breast milk alongside other food will help them continue to grow and develop. Breastfeeding is good for babies. Breastfed babies have: • less chance of diarrhoea and vomiting and having to go to hospital as a result • fewer chest and ear infections and having to go to hospital as a result • less chance of being constipated Health benefits for you: Breastfeeding doesn’t only benefit your baby. It benefits your health too. Breastfeeding is good for mums as it: • lowers your risk of getting breast and ovarian cancer • naturally uses up to 500 calories a day • saves money – infant formula, the sterilising equipment and feeding equipment can be costly • can help to build a strong bond between you and your baby Exclusive breastfeeding can also delay the return of your periods. • less likelihood of becoming obese and therefore developing type 2 diabetes and other illnesses later in life • less chance of developing eczema Any amount of breastfeeding has a positive effect. The longer you breastfeed, the longer the protection lasts and the greater the benefits. Infant formula doesn’t give your baby the same ingredients or provide the same protection. Breast milk adapts to meet your baby’s changing needs. 32
Expressing How to hand express You should be shown how to hand express your milk either antenatally or soon after your baby is born. Please ask for help. Breast massage Gentle breast massage can be used at any time to start or improve the milk flow. Find where you need to press to express your milk. Expressing Your Milk Is it necessary? It is not necessary unless you plan to be separated from your baby at any time before he is having solid food, e.g. going to work. When to Start If you wish, you can start expressing as early as 7 – 10 days after the birth. This is because there is plenty of extra milk available at this time, as your breasts produce more than your baby needs. This milk can then be frozen until it is needed. The correct place to press is a few centimetres away from the nipple where the breast changes in texture, it may feel a little firmer. Position the thumb and the first finger opposite each other, so that this area lies beneath them. Expressing (removing) the milk. Compress and release your finger and thumb rhythmically to obtain milk. It may take a few minutes until the let down reflex works. When milk stops flowing, move your fingers and thumbs to a new position and repeat until milk stops flowing. Repeat on second breast. 33
