Baby Bottle Feeding
Baby bottle feeding has many advantages. One of them is that the mother gets more time for herself and has adequate time for rest and relaxation. Bottle fed babies remain full for a longer period of time than breast fed ones. This is because the feed is not as easily digestible as breast milk. Another benefit of baby bottle feeding is that anyone can feed the baby. The mother is not restricted and this is especially beneficial for those mothers who need to return to work. Give the bottle on demand initially and you should be able to work out a pattern within 2-3 months. A newborn usually takes about 2-4 ounces per feed during the first two weeks. Do not force your baby to finish the bottle if he does not want to. If the baby is still sucking eagerly while the feed is getting over, you can make some more and give it to him.
Baby bottle feeding means that all bottles and teats must be washed and sterilised properly before use. Try using an iron fortified formula. If your baby is lactose intolerant or suffers from allergies check with your paediatrician about the kind of formula you should use. Follow the instructions on the packet and use boiled cooled water. Do not put extra scoops of formula powder while making a feed. This is a common mistake and can make your baby ill. Make up a fresh feed each time you give your baby the bottle. Baby bottle feeding entails holding your baby in a semi upright position while feeding. Never leave a baby alone with a bottle as he could choke.
