bottle feeding

Bottle feeding involves giving an infant milk or formula from a bottle instead of breastfeeding directly from the mother. It provides a flexible feeding option, especially when breastfeeding isn't possible or preferred. The process includes preparing the bottle with the appropriate amount of milk or formula, ensuring proper sterilization, and feeding the baby comfortably in an upright or semi-upright position. This method allows caregivers to share feeding responsibilities and monitor the infant's intake easily. Proper hygiene and preparation are essential to prevent infections and ensure the baby receives adequate nutrition for healthy growth and development.
