Important Breastfeeding Information
At Ocean Road Dairies, we understand breastfeeding may not always go to plan and support all parents in their feeding journey. The World Health Organisation recommends that breastfeeding is best for babies, as it contains the ideal nutrients and immunity protection to support healthy growth and development. It is best to consult with a health professional for advice prior to seeking alternative feeding solutions.
It’s important for pregnant and breastfeeding mums to maintain good nutrition for breast milk production. When considering bottle feeding, the partial or exclusive introduction may reduce your breast milk supply, potentially making it difficult to re-establish supply should you decide to reverse the decision. Financial and social implications are to be considered before proceeding with the use of infant formula including that if your child is not receiving any breast milk, infant formula will need to be purchased until the baby is 12 months of age.
Always prepare infant formula in accordance with the instructions on the label. Improper
use or incorrect preparation of infant formula can make your baby ill.
