These tips can help you bottle feed your little one better.
Cuddle your baby close to you, gently but firmly on a slight incline. Place a face cloth or bib under baby’s chin to catch any spills or dribbles.
Tilt the bottle so the milk completely fills the teat. This decreases the air that your baby is likely to take in, lessening their chance of vomiting with burps after feeds.
They will open their mouth and start to suck.
After your baby has finished half the bottle, see whether they want to burp. After burping, offer the bottle again.
This helps to equally stimulate your baby’s senses.
