IMPORTANT NOTICE: Breastfeeding is best. Aptamil Anti-Reflux and Aptamil Comfort are foods for special medical purposes. They should only be used under medical supervision, after full consideration of the feeding options available including breastfeeding. Sage, peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, oregano, and cabbage leaves can all be incorporated into a pressed oil (cold pressed or hot) to make massage oils for milk suppression. Water: Boil 1 litre of freshly run water in a kettle then leave to cool for 30 minutes and no more so the water can reach the recommended temperature of 70°C. When ready, pour the right amount of water into a sterilised beaker, as per the feeding guide. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water. You can ask a midwife, health visitor or a breastfeeding specialist for help if you would like to restart breastfeeding. Breastfeeding older children If you're making up formula to feed your baby, you shouldn't need a bottle warmer, as the government advice is to make fresh formula for every feed.

If you think you'll be using the bottle warmer to heat jars of food as well as milk, choose one that has an adaptor for holding jars at an easily reachable height – otherwise you can end up having to reach down into the hot warmer for your jar. Some warmers have the facility to heat food in a bowl, too. Other types of bottle warmers Wear a bra slightly smaller than a nursing bra. You don't want it to be too tight, which could lead to mastitis, but if it's loose, the cabbage won't be held securely in place and you might feel some discomfort. After 6 months, once weaning is established, we recommend giving your baby about 1 pint (500-600ml) per day. Aptamil® follow on milk is specially formulated to help meet the increased nutritional needs of infants from 6 to 12 months. This information is given as a guide only. Consult your healthcare professional if you require more advice. If you usually give it twice a day: If you remember up to 4 hours after you should have given a dose, give your child the missed dose. For example, if you usually give a dose at about 7am, you can give the missed dose at any time up to 11am. If you remember after that time, do not give the missed dose. Give the next dose as usual. What if I give too much? Some women decide to combine breastfeeding and bottle feeding with formula milk rather than stopping breastfeeding completely.

Aptamil® Follow On Milk is tailored to help meet the increased nutritional needs of babies aged 6-12 months. Breastfeeding still has lots of benefits for you and your baby after 6 months. It protects them from infections and there's some evidence that it helps with the digestion of your baby's first solid foods. It also continues to provide the balance of nutrients your baby needs. Mortified to be asking this but does anybody know what the medication is called that stops your milk from coming in and also - when do you need to start taking it? (before/after the birth etc). Water: Boil 1 litre of freshly run water in a kettle leave to cool for 30 minutes and no more so the water can reach the recommended temperature of 70°C. When ready, pour the right amount of water into a sterilised beaker, as per the feeding guide. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water.

How long to breastfeed

These warmers normally have an indicator light that goes off when the milk reaches the right temperature, and a thermostat, which keeps the temperature of the water constant. To use sage tea for decreasing milk supply, infuse 1 tablespoon of dried sage in 1 cup of boiling water (or 20g dried sage in 50 ml boiling water). Steep for 5-15 minutes. Drink 1 cup, 2 - 6 times per day. Also, if your baby has a dummy in between feeds, this may reduce how frequently your baby wants to feed – if your baby is feeding less often, you'll produce less milk. Being apart from your baby Most bottles will hold 250ml (9fl oz) of milk, although you can get smaller bottles for new babies that are 150ml (5fl oz).

Baby bowl Plastic bowls with high sides and a ‘lip’ or gripper on the edge for you to hold are convenient for when you're feeding your baby. Once they are trying to self-feed, bowls with lower, gently curving sides and a textured easy-to-grip rim can help them stay in control. Buy one large head of green cabbage. Especially if you are weaning cold turkey, you probably will need the entire cabbage, so don't plan on making a soup with any of the leaves. If your child is over 1 year and having a variety of foods and drinks, they will not need a replacement feed. For hygiene reasons, do not store made up feeds, discard unfinished feeds as soon as possible, and always within 2 hours.Approx. 1 beaker : No. of tabs per feed (1 tab = 4.8g): 7; Quantity of water per feed ml: 210, fl.oz: 7
