Make feeding time better for you and baby
-
-
Although baby may be upset because he is hungry, try not to feed him while he is fussy. A calm feeding will help prevent hiccupping and spitting up.
- A bib can be the perfect accessory to salvage baby's adorable outfit. Gerber offers an array of bibs made with a soft touch Velcro® closure, great for any messy situation.
-
It is recommended to burp baby every 3-4 oz. if bottle-fed or each time mom switches breasts. Keep a clean burp cloth handy to clean up dribbles and spills.
-
Be sure to change baby's diaper before nighttime feeding, as she will surely fall asleep during or directly after eating.

Baby's tummy may be tiny, but it needs to be filled often. A bottle-fed newborn generally eats every 3-4 hours, while a breast-fed newborn generally eats every 2-3 hours.
