What is a Helicopter Parent?
Parenting FAQs
A ‘helicopter parent’ is a common term used for parents who ‘hover’ over their child very closely without letting them out of their sight to exert any independence. It usually has a negative connotation of being too over-protective. It is however a subjective term and most likely a judgement call made by others who don’t know the full circumstances of the parent and child.
Welcome to Nestlé FamilyNes
We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies.
During pregnancy and after delivery, a mother’s diet should contain sufficient key nutrients. Professional guidance can be sought on diet and the preparation for and maintenance of breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed, or to introduce partial bottle feeding, could reduce the supply of breast milk. Once reduced, it is difficult to re-establish. Infant formula should be prepared and used as directed. Unnecessary or improper use may present a health hazard. Social and financial implications, including the cost of providing formula until 12 months of age, should be considered when choosing how to feed infants.
We recognise that breastfeeding is not always an option for some parents. No matter your feeding choice, Nestlé FamilyNes is here to share the latest information to help you feel supported and confident on your parenthood journey.
As every child’s development is different, be sure to consult with your health care professional for individual advice about feeding your baby.
