-
Breast-feed as for as long as you
and your baby are comfortable.
-
An infant should
remain on breast milk or formula until 1 year of age after
which whole milk can be started.
-
Warm formula
with hot water in a pan or container. Do not microwave formula
as it may heat unevenly and scald the baby.
-
Hold your infant while feeding.
Do not prop a bottle as the baby could easily choke.
-
Do not put your
baby to bed with a bottle because formula resting in the mouth
could cause tooth decay and promote ear infections.
-
When introducing
a new food, wait 4-5 days before you introduce the next new
food so that you can watch for an allergic reaction to one
new food at a time. Offer the least allergenic foods first.
-
Generally in this
order: rice cereal, other grains, vegetable, fruit, meat and
table foods.
-
Use a spoon to
feed your baby solid foods. Although there are some instances
where it is ok to add rice cereal to a bottle, generally no
food should be added into a bottle.
-
Homemade food
should be prepared without salt, sugar, or spices.

If commercially
prepared baby food is used, start with single ingredient jars.

foods are: mild cheese, large curd cottage cheese, Zwieback,
dried toast, dried cereals such as Cheerios, ripe bananas,

cooked or raw vegetables such as green or wax beans, squash,
peas, and cubed, ground, or luncheon meats.
