Getting breastfeeding established can be stressful, especially if you don’t have the support you need. We have a good range of accessories to help make the process easier and more comfortable, such as breast pads, nipple shields and milk storage bags. If you want to express milk so that your baby can drink breastmilk from a bottle on occasion, you will find that bottles such as the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Bottles are much easier for breastfed babies to manage. It is recommended that you establish breastfeeding with plenty of night feeds and skin-to-skin contact before attempting to introduce expressing and bottle feeding.
Formula feeding can be stressful, with bottles to sterilise and milk to heat and store. We have a great range of products to make the process easier, including the Mam Steam Microwave Steriliser, which can take the hassle out of cleaning bottles and ensure they are safe for your baby. We love Mam Anti-Colic Bottles, designed with a patented Silk teat that can make the transition between breast and bottle easier for babies who are combination-fed. The innovative vented base means that milk flows evenly, helping babies to relax while they feed and reducing symptoms of colic. These impressive bottles also have a self-sterilising system to ensure cleanliness at home and while you’re out and about.
When you’re moving on to solid foods, it’s important to ensure that you offer your baby plenty of water to drink and the easiest way to do this is in a starter cup or training cup that will prevent leaks and spillages. We love the Mam training cups and bottles, designed to make life easier when you’re busy, and the Tommee Tippee Essentials First Cup is another great choice for little hands. It has a flip-down, leakproof spout that makes it ideal for travel and it can simply be popped in the dishwasher, microwave or steriliser to ensure that it is cleaned thoroughly after use.
