Health & Nutrition | Breastfeeding | Expressing Milk | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    Once you and your baby have established a good feeding routine you'll probably think about expressing milk. If your baby is taking short feeds and not emptying both breasts, expressing is a good solution. It also enables you to provide milk for your baby when you're not around to feed him/her, for example, after you start back to work.

Health & Nutrition | Breastfeeding | What to Avoid | Eumom - 0 views

  •  
    While the mother's diet does influence the composition of breast milk, there are no hard and fast rules about excluding particular foods from the diet. Loose stools in the first week after birth relate to the baby's adjustment to milk and not to the mother's diet.
