There’s so much to think about, to worry about even, but helpful to know that many of these problems are being shared by hundreds of like-minded parents. So if you’re dreaming of sleep as you feed your newborn just one more time, and want to remind yourself that you are doing a brilliant job, tuck into this section to allay your fears and banish those anxieties.

But there is a bewildering list of ingredients on the tin - which you would only really understand if you were a nutritional scientist - so hopefully this article will help you make an informed choice.
