The best and easiest thing you can do for your baby is to breast feed. However, there are a number of reasons that may make you unable to breastfeed so your next best choice is to bottle feed your baby. Milk products manufactured today have many advantages and combine vitamins, iron and other nutrients that the baby needs. This way you can be sure that your baby is going to take all that she needs.

First of all bottle feeding allows you to see how much milk the baby consumes. This is convenient as you can have a pattern and you can be sure that your baby is eating enough. Don’t be surprised by the small amount of milk your baby is eating. Your baby is a small creature and needs many small meals during the day to develop.

Another thing that will make your life easier if you use bottle milk is knowing your baby’s tastes. If the baby is used to drinking the milk in room temperature, you will be able to prepare the meal in less time. However, most of the babies prefer to have milk slightly heated. This means that you have to prepare it and warm it a little bit. Bottle feeding is easy, but you must take care to keep everything clean. You should sterilize the bottles before the first use and after that wash them in warm water and soap. Make sure you rinse them well and no detergent is left. You should then dry them at the air and keep them at a clean place.

If you want to feed the baby breast milk but still prefer to use the bottle, you should feed the breast milk first and then prepare the formula as a supplement if the baby is still hungry. It is not a good idea to mix the breast milk with the formula as the goal is to feed the breast milk. You don’t want to waste it. So if this is the case, you should feed the baby the breast milk and check if she needs more milk.

Bottle feeding is easier and can be carried with you, but is still the time when you feed the baby and you should pay attention to that. Keep the baby calm and enjoy the time you spend together. Use this time to bond with your baby. Hold the baby in your arms and create a safe and secure environment to feed it. If you start with bottle feeding the baby will get used to it. If you start with breast feeding and later change to bottle feeding, your baby might hesitate at first because the milk tastes different and the baby is not used to it, but because it probably tastes sweeter your baby will get used to it soon.

Feeding your baby is something that will fill you with joy and make you understand how much the baby needs you.
