Because our website provides information and educational resources intended for pregnant women and Mums with infants and young children, the Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula (Scotland) Regulations 2007 legally require us to tell you that there are a number of benefits to breastfeeding and it is superior. We are legally obliged to tell you that you should eat healthily and that you should be aware of the effort required to prepare for and maintain breastfeeding.

We are legally obliged to inform you that it is possible that the introduction of infant formula may have a negative effect on your breastmilk supply and that if you decide not to breastfeed it is very difficult to reverse this decision. We must also advise you to consider the social implications of formula use and that formula feeding comes with a financial cost.

If you use infant formula you must follow the manufacturers guidance on preparation as failure do so presents a health risk to your baby.

Thank you for reading this required statement. We hope you find what you need on our website.
