Even with the best nutrition and care, many infants experience feeding conditions that can affect their everyday feeding habits in the first year of life. For some conditions, like cow’s milk allergy, these challenges can continue into the toddler years and may still require support.
Learn more about the possible causes and discover helpful tips for managing these conditions.
Cow’s milk protein allergy is a common food allergy in babies, and can cause varied symptoms including rash, digestive problems, and a failure to thrive.
Reflux happens when a baby’s stomach contents escape back up into their oesophagus (food pipe) and into their mouth. Reflux usually happens soon after a feed, and can cause babies to “spit up” milk or vomit.
Formula-fed babies are more prone to constipation, which may cause painful bowel movements and distress.
Babies who wake up often due to hunger may be at risk of overfeeding and excessive weight gain.

is available from pharmacies nationwideIf you are able to breastfeed, breastfeeding is best for babies. Breastfeeding has many benefits, such as protecting your baby from infection while their immune system develops. It is important that you eat a healthy, balanced diet in preparation for and during breastfeeding.
Infant formula is designed to replace breast milk when an infant is not breastfed. Combining breast and bottle feeding in your baby’s first weeks of life may reduce your supply of breast milk and reversing a decision not to breastfeed is difficult. The social and financial implications of using infant formula should be considered when choosing a method of feeding.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when preparing and using infant formula, including proper sterilisation of bottles and using boiled water. Improper use of an infant formula may make your baby ill.
We recommend that you consult your doctor, midwife, or health care professional for advice about feeding your baby.
