feeding a baby – tip for first-time mums
The feeling of anxious and enthusiasm often cause panicking not only among the first-time parents but also among the family as well. It is something very common in our society around the world. In baby caring process I will give a useful tip for a first-time mum:
Feeding Your Baby
Babies communicate their hunger through crying, making sucking noises, or sometimes they suck their fingers. If you are breast-feeding, you should breastfeed him 10-15 minutes each breast. If you are feeding him by bottle, the formula must be 2-3 ounces in every 2-3 hours.
Have you ever needed to burp but just couldn’t, uncomfortable isn’t it. Well babies don’t like that feeling either.
Inevitably, in the process of feeding him, they swallow air that can cause stomach upset. Of course, we don’t want to hear him crying in pain, right? Before this even happens, it is important that after every feeding, we should let the baby burp.
To burp your little bundle of joy do the following. Hold him/her upright and let their head rest on your shoulder. As mentioned on our #1 tip, proper holding is important when doing this.
Again, make sure his neck and head is support by your hand and slowly pat his back as well. Another way is by letting your baby rest on your lap in a sitting position. Second is to let him sit on your lap. Supporting his head and chin, cradle his chin using the palm of one of your hands and of which, the heel should rest on your baby’s chest. The other hand must gently pat his back.
