Bottles and Infant Formula
When the baby stops being fed through breastfeeding to switch to bottle prepared formulas, taking into account some suggestions:
Heat the food. Place the bottle upright submerged in warm water. Avoid using the microwave. It will be at the right temperature when you try to pour a few drops on your wrist and feel warm.
Baby’s head leans on my arm a little to you and with the head higher than the rest of the body, so you can easily swallow.
Hold the bottle always at an angle such that the teat fills with milk. Otherwise, the baby will swallow air along with the food. When you enter a pacifier in his mouth be careful not to push it much.
You can prepare several bottles of milk and store in the refrigerator, but never kept for more than 24 hours.
When you go to feed your child, find a comfortable, quiet place to sit with him. You will probably be more comfortable lying on a sofa or low chair to support him on your lap.
Supports the child’s head in the crook of the elbow and hold his arm back. Keep your buttocks firmly. Make sure there is horizontal. Semisitting should be in position to breathe and swallow without risk of choking.
When you start to suck, tilt the bottle so the teat fills with food and not leaking air.
Sometimes the baby falls asleep while eating, reason is that gases may have. Wake him up and do burp.
The goal is to make burp out the air swallowed during feeding or during crying that preceded it to avoid discomfort. However, each baby has a different attitude to the gaseous and not always feel more satisfied for having burped. Allow the child to pause to do so spontaneously expel the gases.
The burp is positioned to place against your shoulder and massaged his back with a gentle upward motion, avoiding the heavy slaps. You must protect your clothes with a towel or clean cloth diaper, because the baby may drool, spit up or vomit a little milk. Another effective way is sit on your lap and lean forward without bending at the waist. Remember to hold his head with his hand, lest he lose his balance and sliding toward the front.
