| As you may know, the first 1000 days of a baby’s life – from conception to the end of the second year – are incredibly important for long-term health. Making the right nutritional decisions at this time can deliver lifelong benefits as the endocrine, immune systems and even appetite are believed to be programmed for life by what happens in the first 1000 days1,2. |

| Supporting you to support parents |
| |
We understand that as healthcare professionals advising parents to make the best choices for their baby’s health is important.
Naturally breastfeeding is the best way to feed a baby and to aid you in your conversations with parents we’ve created easy to follow videos on the benefits of breastfeeding and breastfeeding tips.
These can be found on www.smahcp.ie or you can direct parents to www.smababy.ie.
For those mums who are not able to exclusively breastfeed or who have decided to combination feed, we have a complete portfolio of baby milks. Why not try our simple algorithm to explore the full range. |

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended that pregnant women and new mothers be informed on the benefits and superiority of breastfeeding – in particular the fact that it provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for babies. Mothers should be given guidance on the preparation for, and maintenance of, lactation, with special emphasis on the importance of a well-balanced diet both during pregnancy and after delivery. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks should be discouraged since it will have a negative effect on breastfeeding. Similarly, mothers should be warned of the difficulty of reversing a decision not to breastfeed. Before advising a mother to use an infant formula, she should be advised of the social and financial implications of her decision: for example, if a baby is exclusively bottle-fed, more than one can (400 g) per week will be needed, so the family circumstances and costs should be kept in mind. Mothers should be reminded that breast milk is not only the best, but also the most economical food for babies. If a decision to use an infant formula is taken, it is important to give instructions on correct preparation methods, emphasising that unboiled water, unsterilised bottles or incorrect dilution can all lead to illness.
