We are delighted to announce we are upgrading our website for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Children and Young People’s Services. All service provision will remain the same, as will contact details. Families do not need to do anything.

In early December ‘Cambridgeshire Peterborough Children’s Health’ will launch. The page you are currently on and any saved pages you have, will automatically redirect to their new version on the new website.

Thank you.

Breastfeeding assessment tool

This guide has been created to help you understand when breastfeeding is going well and when you might want to talk to a professionals.

Allow breastfeeding to become established before you consider introducing a dummy and/or formula or expressing with a pump. Being responsive to your baby’s need to breastfeed for food, drink, comfort and security will ensure you have a good milk supply, and a secure and happy baby.

 

At feeding time

  • Your baby has 8 feeds or more in 24 hours.
  • Your baby is feeding for between 5 and 40 minutes at each feed.
  • Your baby comes off the breast spontaneously or is offered the second breast if still showing signs to feed.

Your baby

  • Your baby has normal skin colour and is alert and waking for feeds.
  • Your baby is generally calm and relaxed whilst feeding and is content after most feeds.

 

Breastfeeding

  • Breastfeeding is comfortable.
  • When your baby is 3-4 days old and beyond you should notice a sucking rhythm, with pauses for swallowing.

 

Dirty nappies
