Babies: 0 - 3 Months

my friday gift to you

from the american academy of pediatrics caring for your newborn book:

"Self-feeding is not recommended, as it may contribute to nursing-bottle tooth decay by promoting constant feeding and exposure of the teeth to sugars throughout the day and night.  Self-feeding in a supine position (lying down on the back) has been shown to contribute to ear infections."

"Cradle him in a semiupright position and support his head.  Don't feed him when he's lying down totally flat, because this will increase the risk of choking; it also may cause formula to lfow into the middle ear, wehre it can lead to an infection."

Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
