Does breastfeeding make a difference?
Breastfeeding, even for a short time, provides your baby with the best
start in life. It helps to protect him against allergies and illnesses such
as vomiting and diarrhoea, and also reduces the risk of many serious
illnesses. Breastfed babies are less likely to be overweight later in life.
Mums who breastfeed are less likely to develop breast cancer and
osteoporosis, and studies show that breastfeeding mothers show less
postnatal anxiety and depression.
Breastfeeding saves time – and is free ! You do not have to buy, measure
and mix artificial milk, and there are no bottles to warm in the middle of
the night.
How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?
While there is no reliable way of knowing just how much milk a baby is
getting from the breast, continuous weight gain, alertness and good skin
tone are all indications your baby is getting enough. If she is latched on
well and you are feeding when she needs it you should make plenty of
milk. Your body only knows how much milk to make by how much she
is feeding. Six wet nappies and at least three poo nappies (a poo at
least the size of a 2p coin) a day are also a good indication your baby is
getting enough nourishment.

competitions and surveys. Our website also offers essential information on getting
started with breastfeeding, overcoming difficulties, and guidelines on expressing
and storing breastmilk, as well as tips for Dads and an information pack for
health professionals.
How often should I breastfeed my baby?
A newborn baby often feeds 8-12 times in a 24 hour period. As they
have small tummies they need to be fed often. Babies sometimes have
times when they 'cluster suck' (feed on and off for a couple of hours)
then sleep for a few hours. They also have frequency days around 4-6
weeks and 3 months when they want to feed what seems like all the
time. Going with the flow means you will increase your milk supply for his
growing needs. Some babies need to be woken to feed every
three hours.

Do I need to use both breasts?
When your baby is small it is possible she will only want one breast at a
feed. What is important is that you let her finish the first breast and so
benefits from the thicker 'hindmilk' she needs, as this is full of protein and
fats to help her grow. If you offer the second breast when she comes
off the first breast she may choose to have more of the thirst quenching
foremilk. If only one breast is used at a feed, feed from the other breast
at the next feed to keep up your milk supply.

Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags
Breastfeeding
the best start
Breastfeeding is a learnt art and should not hurt, although some
mothers describe the initial sucks in the early days as tender, as the
baby stretches the breast tissue. If you experience nipple soreness
beyond a slight tenderness when your baby latches on you may need
to make some adjustments so you can be comfortable and enjoy
breastfeeding your baby.
Uncomfortable positioning and attachment is the most frequent cause
of sore nipples. Most mothers find that by holding their baby on his
side, wrapping him around their body and waiting for him to open his
mouth wide to take a large mouthful of breast, the nipple is safely
protected at the back of the baby's mouth.
Some nursing mothers find these tips useful:
●Support your baby on her side on your lap, coming to the breast
slightly from underneath. To feed on the left breast, for example, with
your baby facing you, hold her bottom to you with your right elbow,
your right hand on her shoulder blades, your finger and thumb either
side of her neck.
●Allow your breast to rest naturally, i.e. not held up to your baby.
If you wish to support your breast, keep your fingers well back from
the nipple.
●The baby's chin is held to the breast about 3 cm from the nipple
(nose to nipple).
●Your baby will tilt his head back a bit, open his mouth wide with his
tongue down and take a big mouthful of breast tissue along the
tongue, while you bring your baby onto the breast.
●When the baby is sucking strongly, the mother will often bring her left
arm around the baby so the baby's head is along this arm, and then
the right arm can relax.
●Your baby should come off the breast when she has had enough.
You can then offer the other breast, mirroring the above.
Other mothers prefer the rugby or clutch position, with their baby's feet
out behind them, or the cradle hold (across the lap), or lying down.
In each position it is important to enable your baby to take a large
mouthful of breast so that your nipple is protected. This should
immediately be more comfortable for you. If the pain persists beyond
the first few 'stretching' sucks after a day or two whilst healing is
happening, help from a breastfeeding specialist is advisable, as there
could be other causes.
Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags are
pre-sterilised and made from food-safe
polyethylene. Our manufacturing process
enables us to produce these medical grade
bags without using plasticisers, so preventing
substances which could be harmful to your
baby from getting into your breastmilk.
Featuring a double zipper for a secure seal,
and also a write-on tab outside the fill area
to eliminate potential puncture and milk
contamination, our storage bags are easy to
write on even when full. The bags come in a
tissue pack dispenser for easy access and
storage, and, with a gusseted bottom to allow
for expansion, are developed specifically for
the freezer.

Breastfeeding – the best start
Breastfeeding is nature's way of providing perfect nourishment for your baby while
creating quiet times for you to relax as you establish that special bond that will last a
lifetime. Because of the many benefits for both mother and child, the World Health
Organisation (WHO) and all UK Health Departments now recommend exclusive
breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby's life. Natural as it is, some difficulties
may arise during the early weeks. The most common discomfort is sore nipples.
What causes sore nipples
Uncomfortable attachment of the baby at the breast when feeding and skin that is
kept too wet or dried too rapidly are common causes of this temporary but painful
condition. Things will improve as you establish positioning and latch-on technique
but in the meantime Lansinoh Lanolin can provide soothing relief to enable you to
breastfeed comfortably.
Lansinoh® Lanolin
Lansinoh Lanolin is the safest, purest lanolin specially developed for breastfeeding
mothers for the treatment of sore and cracked nipples. It does not need to be
removed before breastfeeding. It is highly purified and completely hypoallergenic so
can be used by people who are allergic to wool or other refinements of lanolin.
Lansinoh contains no added water, no preservatives, antioxidants or other additives
and no perfume.
Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump
The Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump is made from
100% polypropylene, the preferred plastic for
breastmilk storage. The unique Comfort Seal™
cushion creates a secure seal for more
comfortable and efficient pumping.
The ergonomic handle and lightweight,
compact design allow for easy one-handed use
and discreet portability. The pump is silent,
easy to assemble, easy to use and easy to clean
(dishwasher safe). For extra value, the pump
comes with two extra valves and a spare silicone
diaphragm, as well as two storage bottles, bottle
rings and specially designed sealing disks to
prevent leaking. RRP £24.95
Quality guarantee
Lansinoh is the world's strictest controlled lanolin. It is tested regularly for pesticide
and detergent residues, and our unique refining process selectively filters out colour
and odour forming impurities.
How to use
● Apply Lansinoh Lanolin after each feed or more often if required.
● Dry your nipples using a clean cloth. Do not air dry.
● With clean hands, squeeze a pea sized amount of Lansinoh Lanolin out of the tube
and soften it between your fingers. Apply it carefully to the entire nipple area.
If required, you can apply a small amount into the centre of a disposable breast pad.
● Store the tube at room temperature – the higher the temperature the easier the
product can be applied.
Rinse nipples with tepid water when taking a shower or bath – using shower gel or
soap for the nipple area is not recommended.
Other uses of Lansinoh Lanolin
Lansinoh Lanolin is also beneficial for other skin ailments. In particular, it may be
applied to itchy stretch marks, dry lips, nappy rash, on minor cuts, burns and skin
abrasions, for dry skin on elbows, heels and knees, for protection against blisters on
your feet (apply it two hours before going for a long walk) and on heavily stressed skin.

Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads
Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads have an
ultra-thin but super-absorbent contour for a natural
fit that won't show under clothing.
The soft, stay-dry lining draws milk away from
the skin and into the core of the pad where it is
absorbed by a special polymer to prevent leakage.
Featuring a non-slip adhesive tape so that the pad
stays in place, this is the only polymer style pad
that keeps its shape when wet. The pads are
hygienically wrapped for cleanliness and
convenience – perfect to slip into your bag when
out and about.
