Breastfeeding and complementary feeding are some of the challenges faced by many mothers, especially first time mums. This site will help you get through easily with no worries. Find the help and support you need through our qualified nurses and certified lactation managers on healthy ways to feed your child. We also offer home visiting services to nursing mothers and those who are preparing to start complimentary feeding.
This web site will help you learn more on preparation to breastfeeding beforehand. This means that you will be an expert in breastfeeding before the arrival of your precious baby. Preparation means a lot, to include maternal diet pre-conception, and during lactation, positioning of the baby on the breast and the attachment of the baby on the breast in the actual process of breastfeeding, to prevent breastfeeding difficulties.
Among our goal is to make you able to know the advantages of breastfeeding over other forms of infant feeding. We will also help you know the composition of breast-milk.
Complementary feeds are very necessary to children and we will help you know when to start, the quantities to give and their preparation. Feeding techniques will be discussed here. This will answer questions like why some children refuse to feed.
