Top Tips for Bottle-feeding

Easy-to-use, practical tips on bottle-feeding for new mothers, from one of Britain's leading feeding experts

essential advice for mothers who can't breast-feed

Clare should be cloned and made freely available to all mothers!

Debra Stottor, Editor, Junior Pregnancy & Baby

Clare takes away the old wives' tales, the nonsense and guilt, and makes the whole process work as it is meant to

It is, for me, professionally gratifying to have a book written by someone who brings such a balanced approach to both breast- and bottle-feeding. Too often mothers are given so much differing advice as to what they should, or should not do. This book will help a new mother make her own choice and give her expert advice, which will help her with the successful feeding of her baby

What To Expect When You're Breast-feeding... And What If You Can't?

An invaluable breast-feeding guide with clear and sensible advice for new mothers

...practical, unemotional and just what women at the end of their tethers need

There is something awry in the world of breastfeeding. There is too much guilt and not enough practical, proven advice. I, therefore, take the unusual step of recommending a book - What To Expect When you're Breastfeeding... It might just save a mother and baby you know needless suffering

This book should be handed out with the first contraction. Buy this book!

While some mothers take to breast-feeding like a duck to water, others just can't seem to get the hang of it. Clare Byam-Cook agrees that breast is best but she stresses that the most important thing is that your baby is fed - whether by the breast or bottle - and you, the mother, should feel comfortable with whatever you choose to do. 
 
This comprehensive guide contains all the latest information on breast-feeding your baby successfully, including: 
- how to prepare for breast-feeding 
- what to expect in the early stages 
- how to overcome common problems, such as sore nipples and mastitis 
 
And if you can't... the first rule is you shouldn't feel a failure. Clare Byam-Cook recognises there are certain circumstances where bottle feeding is an advisable alternative. Rather than making you feel guilty if you prefer, or have to, bottle feed, she is wholly supportive and sympathetic, providing you with all the practical advice and information you need.
