Breastfeeding is the best for babies and a healthy diet / maternal nutrition is important when breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to reverse. Infant formula is suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed. It is recommended that all formula milks be used on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian, pharmacist, or other professional responsible for maternal and child care and the financial implications should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions should be followed carefully as inappropriate preparation could lead to health hazards.

"My confinement lady, Qin Jie (+601790482891). She was recommended by a midwife nurse in a local hospital to my cousin for her confinement in Oct last year. I got her for my confinement last month. Another relative is going to get her in Sep this year. She is very efficient and 'trains' the baby very well (e.g. feeding times and habits, sleeping through the night, not carrying over the slightest things, bathing), giving us a much easier time now (esp being able to sleep through the night with maximum one feed in between). A thrifty lady who helps to buy and cook good healthy confinement food on a low budget. Besides usual duties of confinement lady, she also cooks for my older daughter (her special requests on days) and husband (vegeterian), helps to send / pick my gal for school bus, bathe her, help to prepare stuff for full month celebration."
