There are some guidelines to follow when bottle feeding your baby. The correct feeding technique will keep your baby asleep, calm and in a good mood.
Before bottle feeding your baby, make sure that the nipple is completely filled with the formula. Otherwise, he will swallow air, and then vomit. After taking liquid food, the baby should be lifted vertically for 2 minutes. In this position, the air should move away on its own without regurgitation of food.
After each feeding, the teat should be washed with hot water and sterilized. Otherwise, the baby may develop diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The hole in the nipple should be appropriate for the baby's age. If the hole is too large, the child may choke. If small, the child will be malnourished.
If it’s time to feed, you don’t need to wake your baby up. Next time, it is recommended to feed on time to maintain the daily regimen. When feeding a baby, the head should be raised. You cannot feed a child while crying. It is best to create a pleasant atmosphere for him.
With artificial feeding, overfeeding is possible. Because of this, the baby becomes inactive, often gets sick and may lag behind in physical development. Therefore, pediatricians pay special attention to the rules of feeding the baby.
