Dear parents,
Mother milk is preferable it's amrit to baby. It's tailor made for the baby. Why you want to give formula feed.
It do not have any advantage over mother's milk.
According to me hold the baby in one arm keeping his head at elbow joint and the buttocks in Palm of same arm and feed the baby for 15to20minutes.
Hold the outer palm of baby in between the thumb and index finger and press the palm when ever baby sleep or stop feeding.
After feeding put the baby on left shoulder and pat just behind stomach level for 5mintues to burpe.
Baby burp 3to5times.
After burping lay down the baby onright side of the baby putting a pillow below head maintaining that head is above level of stomach .
Mother milk Increaseswith demand of baby that is by sucking the breast milk will increases.
Kindly think 5times before starting bottle, which is almost poison to baby. When summer is approaching.
