FEEDING FRIDAY - Your babies saliva helps send complex messages to your brain to tailor make their milk to their exact needs in that moment.
How incredible is that! Look after yourself. You are making tailor made milk for your baby.

FEEDING FRIDAY - Carrying your baby in a sling/carrier keeps them happy & safe, just like in pregnancy. Check your local area for sling libraries. For more info see https://t.co/zCrqB4t4ef

FEEDING FRIDAY-Breastmilk is great, healthy food on the go. It's free & available anytime, anywhere.
Great for mum & baby too. It is constantly changing, tailor made for your baby. Changed by the weather, your babies needs, any infection present.@DudleyGroupNHS @DudleyMaternity

[The Dudley Group @DudleyGroupNHS]

Your midwife and health visitor play an important part in supporting breastfeeding; reach out to them if you feel like you need support.

Further information and guidance on breastfeeding can also be found in your baby’s red book.

We had a great chart this morning at Nurture Babies about how we have been supported through our breastfeeding journeys. There are so many ways your partner & wider family can support you.
Here's a fantastic link from the ABM too https://t.co/ywvf6oPNZk

[The Dudley Group @DudleyGroupNHS]

Partners play a vital role in providing support with emotional wellbeing, which can be crucial to continue breastfeeding when things get difficult.

FEEDING FRIDAY - It's been hot this week... Your breastmilk changes in composition to keep your baby hydrated. They may feed more but you do not need to give them anything else besides your milk. Check out this great link... https://t.co/NTC23moKqB
