Crying is communication, not a sign of failure.

Babies cry for many reasons: comfort, cuddles, a nappy change, hunger, tiredness, or simply because they need you.

Sometimes you may not be able to soothe them, just trying is often enough - even if it doesn't work.

If you're finding things difficult, you can cope and support is available.

Today is National Honey Day - did you know that you should not give your child honey until they're over 1 year old?

Honey is a sugar, so avoiding it will also help prevent tooth decay.

Occasionally, honey contains bacteria that can produce toxins in a baby's intestines, leading to infant botulism, which is a very serious illness.

Bottle feeding is about more than just what's in the bottle.

Holding your baby close, watching their cues rather than the clock, and building a close and loving relationship are not just important for babies who are breastfed – they are important parts of bottle feeding too.

Lots of information about bottle feeding comes from companies whose aim is to sell products. So where can you find evidence-based, impartial information that puts you and your baby's health first?

These trusted resources provide independent information on bottle feeding and infant milks:

Researchers are looking into how breast feeding reduces the risk of breast cancer. The reduced risk might be because they don't produce eggs so often during breastfeeding. Or it might be because breastfeeding changes the cells in the breast so they might be more resistant to changes that lead to cancer.
