As NCT Breastfeeding Counsellors we think a lot about how we talk about the health outcomes of breastfeeding. It’s not unusual in an antenatal session for someone to ask us a question about the pros and cons of breastmilk vs formula, or whether the health “benefits” of breastfeeding are overblown, and the answers to these questions are incredibly complex, as is the challenge of getting the right tone in our responses.
We’re exploring this issue in this episode, which might give you some idea of how many different things we have to consider when we talk about the health outcomes of breastfeeding.
-
In this episode we’re looking at how to choose and use formula milk safely.
Full show notes and details of the citizen science project can all be found on our substack.

Megan and Frances interview Karen about her new book, Why Mixed Feeding Matters, published by Pinter & Martin in September 2023.
The book is packed with useful information for different approaches to feeding your baby, including breastfeeding, expressing and using formula - and crucially covers how to manage using more than one method of feeding. With a guest chapter on mixed feeding twins and multiples by Janet Rimmer, and a chapter on mixed feeding premature or sick babies, it's a comprehensive guide for parents and health professionals.

This is a list of things that have been found to always be helpful in terms of support from partners:
Table 1. Partner breastfeeding influence scale subscales
Responsiveness Cronbach’s alphas: men = 0.77, women = 0.76
Make it easy for your partner to breastfeed while entertaining company or visiting others.
Respond sensitively and positively to sexual issues.
Be patient and understanding of the time it takes to breastfeed and don’t get upset if the other housework is not done.
Show your comfort with breastfeeding in public and help her feel comfortable too.
Pay attention to how much and how your partner wants you to participate in breastfeeding.
