The Baby Feeding Book by Vanessa Christie

The Baby Feeding Book by Vanessa Christie

From breastfeeding and bottle-feeding to weaning, this is the only book you will need to feed your baby with confidence, and without judgement, in the first year.

I love The Baby Feeding Book's no-nonsense, realistic, empowering and compassionate approachFull of helpful tips, myth-busting facts and thoughtful suggestions to take you from your baby's first feed to introducing solid food and beyond. Vanessa is that rare thing: a real expert! Her book covers the emotional, financial and practical aspects of all feeding options: from exclusive breastfeeding to exclusive formula feeding to everything in-between with a thorough, no-judgement style. It's refreshing to see mental health and real-life situations in this helpful new parents' must-have book. -- Rebecca Schiller * author of The No Guilt Pregnancy Plan *
This book cuts through all the confusing feeding advice to help parents give their children the very best start in life. Vanessa has professional experience but, critically, is also a brilliant mum so she understands the reality too! -- Beverley Turner * author of The Happy Birth Book *
This is an amazing book. I am always wary of infant feeding books as it can be hard to get a balance of evidence-based information that equips you to make informed decisions. This ticks all the boxes. It's fantastic and I really, really rate it highly! It's full of great tips, mum stories, loads of practical information and help and is all written in a very digestible and accessible way. (Hollie de Cruz, author of Your Baby Your Birth) -- Hollie de Cruz * author of Your Baby, Your Birth *
Vanessa is warm and inclusive and has real empathy with new parents, so whatever is happening they won't feel judged, they'll feel exactly as they should - looked after and supported. -- Steph Douglas * founder of Don't Buy Her Flowers *
