Nursing & Feeding

Nursing typically refers to breastfeeding, where a mother provides nourishment to her baby directly from her breast. Feeding, on the other hand, can encompass both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding with formula or expressed breast milk.

There is a wide range of nursing accessories available to support breastfeeding, such as nipple creams for soreness, breast pads for leakage, nursing pillows for positioning and support, breast pumps for expressing milk, and milk storage containers for storing expressed milk.

Yes, this approach is known as mixed feeding. It allows flexibility for the mother and can involve breastfeeding along with supplementing with formula or expressed breast milk using bottles.

The introduction of solid foods typically begins around six months of age. Start with single-ingredient purees, gradually introducing new foods while continuing to breastfeed or provide formula. Consult with a pediatrician for guidance on introducing solids and ensuring a balanced diet for your baby.
