Feeding your baby, whether breast, bottle or solids can be fraught with anxiety. Concerns over your baby’s weight gain, what and how to feed, whether your milk supply is adequate is part of the early days. Next comes the debate on when to introduce solids. Eventually fussy toddler eating habits may rear their ugly head. Feeding a baby calls for calm, informed parenting decisions.
TIP 1: Be flexible with your ideas on feeding
Feeding rarely turns out exactly as you plan. Breast milk is best for babies but can take time and patience to get established. If you are battling, ask for help in getting the latch right. If you need to use formula, don’t get caught up in the guilt.
TIP 2: Allow your little one to lead you and have some control once solids are introduced
Many babies do better eating whole steamed food rather than mush. You control what your baby eats and where she eats but give her control over the amount. This is part of baby-led weaning.
