Learn Everything About Breastfeeding

Mum, you're amazing!

From about 16-22 weeks into your pregnancy, your breasts start producing colostrum - concentrated milk that’s packed with nutrients and disease-beating antibodies.

Once your baby arrives, you and your wonderful boobs provide everything they need for the best start in life, and while breastfeeding may be one of the most natural things in the world, mums tell us that sometimes, it’s hard to get the hang of.

#TheTruthIs everyone's feeding experience is different, and that's ok. 

Whatever happens, we've got you!

Head to our Parent Room, where real parents tell us the truth about their breastfeeding experience.

Designed with mums in mind

Our breastfeeding range is created alongside ideas, insights and feedback from real breastfeeding mums.

We know that breastfeeding requires a unique kind of love and commitment, and that's what inspires our Made for Me™ range.

It includes easy-to-use breast pumps, soothing nipple cream and super absorbent breast pads – all designed to keep you feeling comfortable and confident enough to rise to the awesome challenge of being a mum. 

But I don't need anything to breastfeed, do I?

Just you, your boobs and some breast pads should cover the basics.

If you're able to, guidelines suggest that you should exclusively breastfeed your baby for the first six weeks to help establish a good latch and a steady routine.

 

Then once you’re comfortable, you can think about introducing expressing if you want to.  

Using a breast pump to build up a supply of milk in the fridge or freezer can be super helpful. And if for whatever reason your baby can’t feed directly from your breast or you want help from a partner, friend, or family member, expressing means that your baby can still get all the great benefits of your breast milk while feeding from a bottle!

When you buy a Tommee Tippee breast pump, you get access to a FREE Let’s Talk Birth and Baby infant feeding course† with The Honest Midwife.

 

Once you've purchased your pump, you'll find a link to upload proof of your purchase in your order confirmation email.

Then, you'll receive a unique code to book your course!

 

The live and interactive course lasts two hours and covers both breast and bottle feeding. Follow the link below for more infomation about the course.
