Feeding your baby
Breast, bottle or a bit of both: everything you need to feed your baby safely and confidently, from the first golden drops of colostrum to making up a bottle at 3am.
- Feed responsively. Watch for early hunger cues like rooting and fist sucking rather than the clock.
- Breastfeeding shouldn't hurt beyond the first few sucks. Pain is a sign to get help with the latch, early.
- From day 5, look for at least 6 heavy wet nappies and 2 soft yellow poos a day.
- Make formula one feed at a time with water of at least 70C, never warm it in a microwave, and sterilise kit until 12 months.
- Breastfed babies need a daily vitamin D supplement of 8.5 to 10 micrograms from birth.

If you’re trying to conceive (TTC), you probably know that there are certain foods and nutrients that become especially important once you’re pregnant. But nutrition plays a vital role even when trying to conceive, much like laying a strong foundation before constructing a house.
Certain nutrients create that foundation by supporting egg and sperm health (yes, nutrition matters for both partners), hormone balance and creating a hospitable environment for a fertilized egg to implant. In fact, studies show that certain nutrients can help increase fertility and improve success rates for both natural conception and fertility treatments.
In other words, nutrition is a key player in the TTC journey, but getting the right nutrients in the right quantities can be tricky. That’s where supplements come in. Just as you’d take a multivitamin to fill in nutritional gaps for optimal health, fertility supplements can give you that extra nutrient boost.
