The Breastfeeding ShowWhy Mixed Feeding MattersMegan and Frances interview Karen about her new book, Why Mixed Feeding Matters, published by Pinter & Martin in September 2023.
The book is packed with useful information for different approaches to feeding your baby, including breastfeeding, expressing and using formula - and crucially covers how to manage using more than one method of feeding. With a guest chapter on mixed feeding twins and multiples by Janet Rimmer, and a chapter on mixed feeding premature or sick babies, it's a comprehensive guide for parents and health professionals.
