#asktheexpert hey Can we give milk to baby through feeder?

A. Yes, you can give milk to your baby through a feeder, but it’s important to do so safely. Ensure the feeder is properly sterilized before each use to prevent infections. Feeding with a bottle can sometimes cause "nipple confusion," where the baby may prefer the easier flow of the bottle over breastfeeding. To minimize this, use a slow-flow nipple that mimics breastfeeding. If possible, prioritize breastfeeding or spoon-feeding for younger babies, as it helps build a stronger bond and reduces the risk of overfeeding. Always hold the baby upright while feeding to prevent choking or ear infections.
