But what many don’t realise is that colic isn’t actually a condition, it’s a descriptive label.  Traditionally, it’s defined by the “Rule of 3s”: crying more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week, for at least 3 weeks, in an otherwise healthy baby (Wessel et al., 1954). That might sound reassuringly specific, but here’s the problem: the label doesn’t tell you why your baby is crying. It simply renames the...]]></description><link>https://www.nurtureandfeed.co.uk/post/colic-more-label-than-explanation</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a194c31e28a1182ead054ac</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 13:07:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_a82e8b695952439ab2551093dc113e77~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Anika Patel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why You Can’t Compare Formula Quantities to Breast Milk Quantities]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you’ve ever wondered, “How much breast milk should my baby be getting?” and tried to compare it to formula feeding amounts, you’re not alone! But here’s the key thing to know: breast milk and formula work very differently, so their quantities cannot be compared 1:1.  Breast milk is a dynamic, living fluid that adapts to your baby’s needs. As your baby grows, the composition, not the quantity, adjusts to provide exactly what they need. Formula, on the other hand, stays the same, which is...]]></description><link>https://www.nurtureandfeed.co.uk/post/why-you-can-t-compare-formula-quantities-to-breast-milk-quantities</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a194bafe28a1182ead05463</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 13:04:07 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b05ae3_6765871e3a224e7581b5eeb5206f72da~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Anika Patel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Should I Start Breastfeeding?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Right from the start!  Ideally, you should start breastfeeding within the first hour after your baby is born. This helps both you and your baby to bond and kickstarts the breastfeeding process. Plus, the early milk, called colostrum, is packed with nutrients and antibodies essential for your newborn's health.  The first hour after birth, often referred to as the "golden hour," is crucial for initiating breastfeeding. During this time, your baby is usually alert and has a natural instinct to...]]></description><link>https://www.nurtureandfeed.co.uk/post/when-should-i-start-breastfeeding</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a194b72e28a1182ead05439</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 13:03:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b05ae3_0d50277ea84547719e284c2e9a28d1bf~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Anika Patel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Do I Know If My Baby is Getting Enough Milk?]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the most common questions I get asked from families is how to know when their baby is getting enough milk. Often, conflicting advice they have received puts doubts in their minds. When I have consultations with families, I always find out what cues they have been looking for to determine signs of hunger and satisfaction. I will gain an understanding of how many times a baby feeds in the day, whether the mother is using one breast or both, and what the baby’s nappy output is.

As a first-time mum who is pregnant and eager to breastfeed, these stories can be daunting and scary.
