New Baby Feeding Tips
Bottle Feeding Tips
- Ensure flow is about one drop a second
- Never use a bottle you prepared more than 48 hours before
- Use your steriliser every time
- Don't use bottles that you left out of the fridge for too long
- Your partner can feed the baby as well
- You can use an electric steriliser for over 12 months, and it saves you a lot of time
- If you plan on breast feeding only, you may still want to have bottles and nipple on hand
- Even if you don't produce enough milk at first don't give up breast feeding
- You will produce more milk as the baby feeds more
- Breastfeeding moms may want to prepare one or two bottles with breast milk for the night. Dads can then feed the baby
- If your baby is quite fussy when breast feeding, avoid using a pacifier until he got used to breast feeding.
