Kate’s ” 5 Top Tip’s on breastfeeding “
1. We keep hearing ‘ breast is best ‘! Well, yes it is for all the right reasons, starting with the colostrum. This fantastic first milk your baby will get after it is born, is packed full of antibodies, designed to help stop your baby getting sick in the early months.It will also provide your baby with the perfect recipe feed. So, my tip is give breastfeeding a go !
2. A lot of mums start breastfeeding in hospital, only to find they end up with grazed, sore nipples. Sadly, when your sore and tired it is easy to decide you don’t want to breastfeed. So, my next tip is, learn how to get the attachment or latch right !
3. It is always difficult to work out how much milk our baby has had at a breastfeed. When we can work it out a bit we have more confidence with our feeding. So, try and ‘ learn ‘ your breasts !
4. Watch how your baby is sucking and swallowing. They are supposed to have pauses and rests through the feed. You want to be able to see some good swallowing as well. So, ‘ learn ‘ your baby.
5. When you understand as much as possible about what you are doing at a breastfeed, you will feel more in control with the way you manage your baby. So, trust your own confidence and ‘ gut feeling ‘.
Kate’s DVD
In response to an overwhelming need for an excellent, visual-how-to on breastfeeding Kate has just brought out her new Breastfeeding & Baby Care Guide DVD aptly titled ” Happy Mums Happy Bubs “.

The DVD also covers Baby Massage, Bathing, Dressing, Nappies, Wrapping, understanding Mastitis and much more, all in an easy to follow, very visual, up to the minute practical format.
