Is Breastfeeding Best for Babies?

| December 29, 2011

There’s a lot of debate when it comes to feeding and what’s best for your baby.

Exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding (breast and formula) or formula feeding?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) published a statement in January 2011 indicating findings show exclusive breastfeeding up to the age of 6 months is best for babies, as it helps to achieve optimal growth, development and health.

This statement on breastfeeding by the WHO is for all babies and not just babies in developing countries.

This Group 0+ best newborn car seat is suitable from birth to approximately 12 months (birth to 13 kg).

The Britax Baby-Safe Plus SHR II Infant Carrieris just as easy to use with a 3-point seatbelt (which came in handy for taxi rides) or with the Britax Baby-Safe ISOFIX Base which we leave fixed in our car for ease of quickly fixing the car seat in and out.

The Britax Baby-Safe Plus SHR II Infant Carrierhas integrated adaptors which can be used to attach it onto the Britax B-Smart 3 Pushchairor the Britax B-Smart 4 Pushchairwhich is suitable from birth.
