~Bottles and Boobs ~

Warning : These tips are based on my 15+ years experience as a Antepartum, Labor & Delivery, Mother/Baby Postpartum, Newborn Nurse, & Childbirth Class Instructor. You should consult your Physician, OBGYN, &/or Pediatrician for actual medical advice.
                     

               Got Milk?

~It has been said "Breast Is Best" for feeding your newborn baby. However, it IS a choice. I personally recommend breastfeeding & I did breastfeed all 3 of my children. However, as a nurse & a mother, I realize it is not the right choice for everybody & I DO NOT judge mothers who choose to formula/bottle feed. I DO, however support my patients & their decision to breast or bottle feed. The breast may be the best, but it is not the best for everybody. IN OTHER WORDS : Home grown vegetables might be the best for me. But, store bought vegetables might be the best for you. Like many of the nurses & pediatricians I have had the pleasure to work with,  I DO NOT personally care how you feed your kid. As long as you feed your kid & feed your kid enough!

Tip : Fix your newborn baby a fresh new bottle for each feeding. In other words : If you pour yourself a glass of milk in the morning, take a few sips, & place it on the counter; would you return hours later & pick up this same glass of milk & continue drinking it? Probably not, you would probably fix yourself a new glass of milk since that one has been sitting out for some time. SO PLEASE DO THE SAME FOR YOUR BABY!!! Your baby's nurse & your baby thank you!
