A new baby can be the most joyous experience in your life but equally the scariest as a parent is responsible for another human being who is completely helpless.

Many new parents find it difficult to know what is best for their baby as there is so much conflicting advice and information. This is where knowledgeable pharmacy staff can make a huge difference as they can offer friendly supportive advice.

The objectives of this module are to enable you to:

• Understand the benefits and considerations of breast and formula feeding
• Understand some of the advice you can provide to parents on feeding
• Recognise the signs and symptoms of common feeding problems
• Understand when to refer to a pharmacist
