BOTTLE FEEDING YOUR BABY

When you feel breast feeding is not enough for your baby, start on with bottle feeding. Few important tips to be kept in mind while bottle feeding are:

• Cow’s milk is not idle for babies below 1 year. Use of formula milk is the best.
• Remember to check the expiratory date on the formula milk container at the time of purchase, store or use.
• Always sterilize the bottle, bottle nipples, cover and the utensils to be used.
• Prepare the milk when you need to feed.
• Do not warm the prepared milk in the electric bottle warmer.
• Do not store the left over bottle milk after feeding.

These few precaution will surely keep your baby away from bacteria and infection.
