Congratulations! Your baby is here at last and you are embarking on a wonderful journey together. Whether this is your first or last baby, there will be new things to learn and lots of exciting times, and perhaps some difficult times, ahead.

Each baby is different, so what worked before or what your friend or sister did may not work for you - your baby may present new challenges along the way either in terms of sleeping, feeding or behaviour. Remember, there is plenty of help and support out there and lots of information to guide you through.

But most of all, enjoy this precious time getting to know the new little person in your life.

Breastfeeding is best for your baby and provides many benefits. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding.

Introducing partial bottle-feeding could negatively affect breastfeeding and a decision not to breastfeed is difficult to reverse. Infant Milk Formula should only be used on the advice of a health professional and the manufacturer's instructions for use should be followed carefully. Improper use of an infant milk or innappropriate foods or feeding methods may present a health hazard. The social and financial implications of using infant milks should be taken into consideration. If you choose to bottlefeed, do not allow prolonged or frequent contact of milk feeds with your baby's teeth since this increases the risk of tooth decay. Make sure your baby's teeth are cleaned after the last feed at night.
