Hold the bottle at a slight angle: Hold the bottle at a slight angle so that the nipple is always full of milk. This will help to prevent air from entering the baby’s mouth, which can cause discomfort and gas.
-
Use a slow flow nipple: If your baby is having trouble sucking or swallowing, try using a slow flow nipple to control the flow of milk.
-
Burp your baby frequently: Burping your baby frequently during feeding can help to release any trapped air, which can help to prevent discomfort and gas.
-
Use a proper latch: It’s important to help your baby latch onto the nipple correctly to ensure that they are able to get the milk they need. The nipple should be placed far back in the baby’s mouth, and the baby’s lips should be flanged outward.
-
Pay attention to your baby’s cues: It’s important to pay attention to your baby’s cues and stop the feeding if they start to show signs of discomfort or become full.
Overall, proper feeding technique is important for ensuring that your baby is getting the nutrition they need and for helping to prevent feeding problems.
If you have any concerns or questions about bottle feeding, it’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider.
