Breastfeeding is recommended for babies during their first six months of being born. However, some mothers cannot or do not want to breastfeed. This leaves them the option of giving their newborn baby formulas. Baby formulas are designed to act as a suitable replacement for breastmilk and this contains all the essential nutrients needed by newborn babies. A newborn has a very weak immune system so baby formula products must have passed safety and quality standards set by the government. Still, some baby formula products have been associated with food poisoning and other complications which can be fatal to newborn babies. This leaves the parents with the task of carefully picking a suitable baby formula for their child. With that in mind, how do you choose the right baby formula for your baby?

New study reveals 4 in 10 UK parents with newborn babies felt unsupported by local health services during lockdown.

The study, which was independently commissioned by nationwide baby group franchise Baby Sensory, polled several hundreds of new parents across the country on their views around the closures of these essential support groups. The study revealed that despite removing what is a vital lifeline for 95% of new parents polled, 4 in 10 say they felt unsupported by their local health service throughout the lockdown period.
