SPHN (CPH)160229 Babies BREASTFEEDING (BREAST IS BEST) What is the best food for my baby? • Breast milk is the ideal food for babies as it contains all the nutrients required to support growth and development needed from birth to around 6 months of age. • Breastfeeding can save time, is kind to the environment and best of all it’s FREE. • Research shows breastfeeding protects babies against infection, obesity and some other chronic diseases such as diabetes, later in life. • If for any reason you stop breastfeeding before your baby is of 12 months of age, use a commercial infant formula until the age of 12 months. Breastfeeding is best however sometimes this is not possible. All mothers need support from family and friends in choosing what is best for them. If you require support with breastfeeding or any aspect of infant feeding, talk to your child health nurse or a lactation consultant to work out the best approach to feeding your baby. Starting family foods At around 6 months babies are ready for foods. First try an iron-fortified cereal and/or iron rich food such as pureed meat, tofu or legumes. Then add different types of pureed vegetables, fruit and other foods from the five food groups. You can begin to offer babies solid foods, while continuing to breastfeed until 12 months or longer. They can begin to use spoons and sip from a cup. At 12 months baby should give up the bottle and drink from a cup. Babies that continue with bottles after 12 months are more likely to get: tooth decay; ear infections and iron deficiency. For more information on introducing solids to babies see the Healthy Kids website: http://www.healthykids.nsw.gov.au/ parents-carers/nutrition/introducing-solids.aspx Encourage healthy habits You can help children to learn to enjoy a variety of nutritious foods and as they get older they will be more likely to make their own healthy choices.
