Baby Feeding Solutions

Feeding is an important time in your baby’s development. Particularly for infants, feeding allows you both to bond through physical contact, facial expressions, sounds and body language.

Toddler Feeding

Feeding for toddlers provides the opportunity to exercise new motor skills and to express preferences for some foods and explore new ones; whenever the family eats together, language is developed and social rituals learned.

A few simple tips for feeding a baby

Newborns

Whether you choose formula or breast milk, feeding a newborn is something you will be doing at any time of the day or night, at intervals between about one to three hours. As your baby grows he or she may take in more milk, reducing the time between feeds.

Bottle feeding

• Check the temperature of the formula using the inside of your wrist
• Hold your baby in a comfortable position, roughly at an angle of about 45 degrees. You don't have to be super-precise here...just somewhere between fully sitting up and laying down
• Avoid air getting in the milk by ensuring the teat is always full
• Do frequent burpings, generally every three to five minutes

Breast feeding

• Choose a comfortable position with extra physical support (e.g. pillows) if needed so you are relaxed and unstressed
• Invest in a good quality breast pump - it will make your life a whole lot easier. Our experts are on hand to help you choose the right one for you
• Invest in some dedicated breastfeeding clothes such as maternity bras and PJs
• Get support from a parenting group online or attend a class to give you the skills and confidence for successful breastfeeding. More resources are available from the Australian Breastfeeding Association website.

Tips for toddlers

• Involve your toddler in the food preparation process and give them simple tasks
• Keep it varied and include foods from several food groups to encourage healthy eating habits
• Offer healthy and nutritious snacks
• Avoid sweet sugary drinks and offer plenty of water instead
• Don't be concerned about frequent refusals - this is normal as often at this stage of their development they will be more interested in playing than eating
• Feed at the same time as family meal time
