Breastfeeding has many health benefits for you and your baby.

Milk feeding has all the nutrients your baby needs in the first 6 months. Start giving your baby solid foods at around 6 months while continuing milk.

Your breastfed baby is getting enough milk if they have 6-8 heavy wet diapers, 1-2 soft poops a day, healthy looking skin, are alert, and are growing well.

You have the legal right to breastfeed anywhere in Australia, so when out and about, dress comfortably, find a calm spot, and use the parent rooms to privately feed your hungry baby.

It is recommended to give your baby only breastmilk until they are 6 months old. This helps keep them healthy, create a strong bond with you, and lowers their chance of getting sick or having allergies. Read more below

Reflux is when food comes back up from baby's stomach into the mouth or throat. Holding baby upright after feeding and tummy time when awake can help reduce reflux until it gets better, usually by one year old.
