On Tuesday 27th January join Breastfeeding in Greenwich for a Breastfeeding Bonanza Tea!
Open to all breastfeeding mums across Greenwich. This is a 2 hour drop in event from 2-4pm. Pop along, make new friends and enjoy tea and cake in the lovely Mulberry Tea Rooms.
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 healthily.
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 fewer visits to hospital as a result
less chance of being constipated
less likelihood of becoming obese and therefore developing type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related 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 provide the same protection. Breast milk adapts as your baby grows to meet your baby’s changing needs.
However at Greenwichmums we believe that how you choose to feed your child is a very personal thing and that you should not be made to feel bad if your choice is to formula feed. Some babies don’t latch on, some mums maybe taking certain medications. Go easy on yourself and don’t beat yourself up to much if things don’t go as you thought they would. Support is available.
