Newborn Care - Baby feeding guide

Whether you choose to breast feed or use a bottle, feeding is a big part of the time you spend with your newborn during the first few months..

[MUSIC PLAYING] Now, whether you choose to breastfeed or bottle feed, just remember that this will be a big part of the time you spend together in the first few months. I found I was feeding every couple of hours around the clock. Using a support pillow and trying to take time to mentally relax when feeding really helped. Now, I mainly breastfed. And although it was harder than I thought, we got the hang of it pretty quickly. Getting the position right and finding a comfortable latch was tough. But after just a few feeds, we seemed to figure things out. But we also bottle fed. And bottle feeding gave me a chance to share this special time with dad and with his grandparents as they were able to take over feeding from time to time.
