#topuptrap

I believe that a new baby should be fed on demand, but new mums should be careful that their baby is demanding to be fed at least 8 times in a 24 hour period. Some babies are very sleepy in this time and don't demand to be fed, and this is where things can go wrong.

Mum's milk supply can be sabotaged by not providing enough stimulation to milk production. Babies can fail to put on enough weight. Formula top ups are then suggested, and there is the top-up trap! The mum is pretty much forced into formula feeding...
