Feeding your baby is the biggest concern of all the mothers. For the infants below 6 months breast feeding is the best option. Breast milk is over 90% water. When breast feeding your child there is no need for giving extra water.
Breastfeeding your newborn has many advantages. Perhaps most important, breast milk is the perfect food for a human baby's digestive system. It contains the vitamins and minerals that a newborn requires, and all of its components — lactose, protein (whey and casein), and fat — are easily digested by a new born's immature system. Breast milk contains antibodies that help protect infants from a wide variety of infectious diseases, including diarrhea. Breastfeeding may also decrease the chances that the child will become overweight or obese.
For the working mother, breast feeding seems to be impossible. They can use breast pump to collect breast milk to be given in a bottle so their babies still get benefit of breast milk. The other option available to them is feeding with formula milk. While using formula milk, it needs to be kept in mind that once prepared, it should be used within an hour and after that do not use them. Prepared formula milk can be stored in refrigerator for about 24 hours and used after normal heating but not in microwave.
