The first time your child tastes food, even if it's only a tiny bit, be ready with the camera! You'll probably be treated to funny faces you've never seen before. Up to now, the only food your baby has tasted is sweet breast milk or baby formula. A new chapter in life is starting!

Just peas or just rice? And then just sausages? What do you do if your child will only eat one thing, or doesn't want to eat anything at all? The best advice is to take it easy, wait and see, or carry on offering little tasters.

What does it feel like when you breastfeed? Do your breasts feel taut and tender, are they leaking milk? Or is the opposite the problem - does your baby seem hungry and cranky?

It is your baby that starts off the breastfeeding process with its appetite. Babies have a strong sucking reflex for the first few days, particularly on the second and third day after birth. Then your milk starts flowing. Your breasts feel engorged and the milk may overflow. But don't worry; your milk production will soon stabilise.

Do you have twins? Try breastfeeding your twins in different ways before leaving the hospital. Ask your midwife and the nurses for advice before leaving the hospital.

Despite the many benefits of breast milk, some mothers are either unable or unwilling to breastfeed. The alternative is to bottle feed your baby with infant formula. Formula provides all the nutrition the baby needs, so you don't need to feel guilty or worried about not breastfeeding your infant.

Lumps or knotty areas in the breast are not uncommon when breastfeeding, but if left untreated can progress to a painful condition in which the milk ducts became blocked or plugged; also known as 'caked breast'. Here are a few tips.

Milk and eggs are common allergens affecting young children. In most cases, the problem goes away within a few years, but other allergies may turn up instead.

A lot of newborns swallow air while they're feeding. So they burp or vomit afterwards, otherwise they would get tummy ache. Here are a few tips on how to help your baby burp.

Breastfeeding should be calm and comfy. But how long should it last, and how often does your baby need to feed? It's a good idea to listen to your baby instead of checking your watch.

Suddenly your baby may be feeding constantly and not want to be anywhere but at your breast. Ironically, if baby suckles more than usual, to the point of bringing up the milk his tummy can't take, he will actually be increasing your milk production.

You need more nutrition than normal when you're breastfeeding - both for yourself and for your little baby. Here are some ideas on what can be good to eat a bit more of.
