Nearly all babies in the UK receive formula milk at some point during their first year of life. Yet finding independent and factual information about formula feeding can be surprisingly difficult, as much of the material available to parents, carers and health professionals is generated by the formula industry for marketing purposes. How can parents make properly informed decisions about which brand to choose, how much to feed and when, and how to prepare products safely?
In Why Formula Feeding Matters infant feeding specialist Shel Banks tackles all these questions and many more, drawing on the evidence and her extensive experience supporting families with infant feeding to communicate essential information for anyone involved in caring for formula feeding babies.

Shel Banks is an IBCLC and NHS infant feeding specialist based in Lancashire. She is also Vice Chair of the charity UK Association for Milk Banking which supports milk banks in the provision of donor human milk for the most vulnerable babies, and Chair of LIFIB, which has been providing evidence based information about formula and bottle feeding to health professionals since 2008.
Shel has a great interest in evidence based practice and the fully informed choice of expectant and new parents, and has contributed to 3 NICE Guidelines (Donor Milk Banking, Postnatal Care and Faltering Growth) and co-authored 3 Cochrane Systematic Reviews on various aspects of Infantile Colic. She is looking forward to working further on this from 2022 onwards as she delves deeper into the management of unsettled babies, during her doctoral studies.
She has a small private practice specialising in unsettled babies, disturbed sleep, formula feeding and faltering growth, and as a tutor for health and social care professionals in the UK and across the world.
Alongside teaching and coaching families and health professionals, Shel has also had a number of TV and radio appearances, including BBC Breakfast and the Channel 4 Dispatches documentary “The Great Infant Formula Feeding Scandal”.
