Our maternity services have been accredited by UNICEF as Baby Friendly since 2002 and it is very important to us to support women and their families in their baby feeding choices, and in building a close and loving relationship with their baby.
We recommend feeding your baby responsively. This is responding to your baby when they show feeding cues such as rooting, hand to mouth movements and wriggling. Ways to respond to and comfort your baby are:
• cuddling your baby
• frequent skin-to-skin contact
• offering a breastfeed for comfort as well as for nutrition
• keeping your baby near to you
• touching, massaging and rocking your baby
• talking to your baby
Do not leave your baby to cry.
