4. Babies 0-12 months To defrost milk • Thaw in the fridge and use within 12 hours. • If needed quickly stand the bottle in a jug of warm water, replacing the water when it becomes cold & use immediately • Shake to mix the creamy separated particles. Microwaves should never be used to heat breast milk. How do I give expressed breastmilk to my baby? In the early days small amounts of breastmilk can be given by using a small cup. Ask your Midwife or Health Visitor about this. Early introduction of a teat may confuse the baby and may result in a poor breastfeeding technique which may reduce your milk supply. However, if you are going to be separated from your baby, you may choose to give baby your milk in preparation via a teat once daily, once breastfeeding is established. When introducing a teat it is important to remember that every baby is unique. If problems have been encountered with breastfeeding it is important to delay this for as long as possible. Effects of offering artificial milk to a breast fed baby Breastfeeding works on a supply & demand basis. If this is interrupted with a formula milk feed, you may not produce enough milk. Suckling from a teat is different to breastfeeding and may confuse the baby, making it more difficult for your baby to attach to your breast correctly. Breasts can become full and uncomfortable (engorged) if your baby does not feed frequently enough. This can make it painful and more difficult to attach your baby to your breast. Babies given large amounts of artificial milk may be less satisfied with subsequent breast feeds. Baby’s digestive system contains a range of normal bacteria. Artificial milk destroys the protective coating in the gut that your milk provides. This can increase the risk of your baby getting infections. If there is a history of diabetes, asthma, eczema allergy in the family, giving artificial milk may increase the risk of baby developing allergies. Before giving your baby artificial milk, please speak to your midwife or health visitor. 36
Breastfeeding when out and about The Equality Bill The Equality Bill offers mothers stronger protection when breastfeeding. The Equality Bill will make it clear that it is unlawful to force breastfeeding mothers and their babies out of places like coffee shops, public galleries and restaurants. For further information go to www. equalities.gov.uk Many places in Barnsley are signed up to the local Breastfeeding Friendly Award and display “Your Welcome to Breastfeed here” signs. The settings are committed to protect and promote Breastfeeding as well as support breastfeeding families These include all the local children’s centres, The Mall Alhambra and other public buildings. An up to date list of all settings who hold this accreditation can be found by clicking on the link below http://www.vabarnsley.org.uk/pdf/ breastfeeding/groups_october.pdf Formula Feeding If you are bottle feeding you should be shown how to sterilise equipment, make up and give a feed before you leave hospital. If you haven’t been shown – ask. Even if you think you know, check with a midwife or health visitor as some advice may have changed. This information is based on guidance from the Department of Health and the Food Standards Agency. It may differ from what you have done before if you have older children, but to minimise any risk it is recommended that you follow this new information. Choosing a formula Infant formula milk usually comes in powder form and is based on processed, skimmed cow’s milk and is treated so babies can digest it. Vegetable oils, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids are added to make sure the milk contains the vitamins and minerals that young babies need. This information will be on the contents list of the pack. Infant formula powders are not sterile, so it is important to follow the making up, cleaning and sterilising instructions. Formula is either ‘whey dominant’ or ‘casein dominant’, depending on the balance of proteins it contains. It may also be referred to as stage one or stage two milk. Whey-dominant milk is thought to be easier to digest than casein-dominant milk, so should always be the first formula you give your baby. There is little nutritional difference in the two forms of milk, so if whey-dominant formula milk suits your baby, they can stay on it for the first year or even longer. (See What Types of Infant formula are they? On page 37) ‘Ready-to-feed’ infant formula milk in cartons is also available. This is generally more expensive than powdered milk. Once opened, the carton should be stored in the fridge with the cut corner turned down. Do not store it for longer than 24 hours. You can continue giving your baby infant formula when they are older than six months. 37
