Baby Feeding



To determine quantity of milk imbibed (if this is necessary, for example when a baby’s weight increases not enough), a baby is weighed before and after feeding. As quantity of milk imbibed varies during different processes of feeding, a daily control or, at least, calculation of quantity for 2-3 processes of feeding with normal quantity calculation are necessary. Besides breast milk, you should give water to your baby – boiled, unsweetened, of room temperature. Give 1-2 tea-spoons of water a day to your baby, altogether – up to 50 millilitres.

You should avoid alcoholic drinks as the alcohol does pass through to the baby and it can affect the baby’s weight and central nervous system. If you drink only occasionally, make sure you do it after you nurse. This means that alcohol level will be lower or gone before the next feeding. Avoid spicy or gassy foods as these can upset your baby’s delicate tummy.

At present, when producers of baby food can offer new parents a high-quality substitution to breastfeeding, availability of baby bibs becomes crucial for baby feeding. And the manufactures of baby things are ready to suggest us a good choice of them produced out of different materials and designs.

By doing breast feeding, you provide breast milk which is the best source of nutrition for the first 6 months of life. Breast milk contains appropriate amounts of carbohydrate, protein, and fat, and provides digestive enzymes, minerals, vitamins, and hormones that infants require. Breast feeding also gives your baby antibodies from you that can help the baby resist infections. Even more, many experts recommend that you should do breast feeding your baby within the first 30 minutes of life.

Formula milk contains usually more sure than breast milk and those moms who allow the children to suck the bottle for a long time, much more than it is needed, have big problems because of the babies' teeth , to be more exact, because of spoiled enamel of the teeth. Do not bottle feed your baby longer than it is necessary. There is time for a bottle and then comes time for some essential changes too as your baby develops the nutrition.

Regardless of whether they are breast feeding or bottle feeding, these mothers have nearly always followed the current advice given by healthcare officials and fed their babies on demand. For many mothers, and especially first-time mothers, this means feeding their baby every time he cries, often every two hours right around the clock. The experts reassure these parents that feeding the baby whenever he cries and for as long as he wants is the best way to deal with excessive crying.

Many parents start with a single item, such as rice cereal. Feed the first food to your baby for approximately a week and keep your eyes open for any kind of reaction or allergy symptoms. If she takes to cereal well, you can continue to introduce solids one at a time. Traditional advice says to start with veggies, followed by fruits, and then meats, but you can start with fruit if you prefer.
