Bottle Feeding Tips

Bottle Up author Suzanne Barston provides some insightful bottle feeding tips. Parents are often very unsure about the amount and frequency of what they should be feeding their baby. The general rule of thumb is to feed 2.5 ounces of formula for every pound of your baby’s body weight. Since babies’ appetites can vary, the best thing is to feed based on hunger cues, similar to breastfeeding.

Judgment for not breastfeeding

Join Author & Blogger Jill Smokler, Parent Educator Sarah McCormick, Mom Annie Wilcox, and Bottle Up Author, Suzanne Barston as they discuss the negative judgments that can arise from not breastfeeding, and how important it is to support these hard-working mothers. There is often a lot of pressure to breastfeed, but not all mothers feel comfortable and not all babies are good at it, which can be a challenge. Instead of placing unnecessary judgment on these hard-working moms, people should respect their decision to not breastfeed.

Everything you need to know about formula

Author of Bottle Up, Suzanne Barston, reviews the varying times of formulas on the market and which types to turn to depending on your baby’s needs. While all formulas will feed and nourish your child, babies often have different needs. If you’re baby is sensitive, they may fare better by using partially hydrolyzed formula, which is easier for babies to digest. The different formula types include powder, which is very common and is mixed with water, ready-to-feed formula, and concentrated formula.
