ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist3 years ago

A. dear parent bottle feeding is not recommended even some times it risks infections in the baby. Due to easy availability of milk a baby gets habituated to bottle-feeding & subsequently refuses to feed at the breast. Bottle can also cause problems with teeth & can have deleterious effect on mother-infant bonding. mother should not hesitate can even breastfeed when outside home many comfortable clothing and covers are available
