Practice point 1
A father of a four-month-old, who is currently being breastfed, is asking for advice as they want to use formula milk when the baby’s mother goes back to work. They have discussed it with their health visitor but he is a bit confused about the variety of formula milks available.
Consider the following:
- What might they need to consider when switching from breast to bottle feeding?
- How can they make the bottle feeding acceptable for the baby?
- What are some of the differences in the types of milk in the age range?
