Flexible Feeding

Feeding that suits you and your baby, bottles, boobs or tubes.

Flexible feeding is about finding what works for you. Allowing Mums to just go with the flow. It’s what we all do; we trial, we change, we adapt, we flex.

The basics

  • From birth you can feed your baby breast milk, first infant formula milk, or a combination of both.

  • How you choose to feed your baby is an individual decision that can only be made by you. Your healthcare team are there to support you.

  • You don’t need to pigeonhole yourself into one feeding box; all options are on the table.

  • Infant feeding decisions are not set in stone! It’s common to change your mind, or to come up against challenges and have to adapt, to flex.

  • Whether by bottle, boob or tube, feeding your wee one can take a bit of getting used to, so getting good advice and support is key.

  • Being a new Mum is a lot. Sometimes our voices get lost in a sea of well meaning advice, so if you’re struggling to be heard, gather your village to amplify your voice and advocate for you, be it loved ones, friends, Health Professionals or Team Feed.
