73 Baby feeding tips for parents to mark the 73rd NHS Birthday

Posted on: 8 July 2021

Are you a new parent looking for advice on how you can feed your newborn?

Barts Health NHS Trust is sharing 73 baby feeding tips this week to mark the 73rd anniversary of the National Health Service founding (6 July).

The NHS has been caring for women having babies since 1948 and healthcare professionals have continued to provide this service throughout the COVID-19 pandemic 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. 

Barts Health is implementing the standards of the UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative, which is about infant feeding and relationship-building within new families - and to mark this they are giving parents useful tips on responsive breastfeeding, feeding patterns for a newborn, skin-to-skin contact, premature babies and breastmilk, newborn jaundice, and much more.
