A. Dear mum, bottle feeding should be completely avoided as it can be a source of infection for your baby. It can also be a difficult habit to get rid of. It is better to feed using katori and spoon. Breastfeeding should be stopped gradually so as to make it less stressful for you and your baby. Reduce the number of breast feeds during the day time and increase the amount of top food. Try to divert your child’s attention by reading out stories, singing a lullaby or patting your child’s back. The night time feeding should be the last feeding to be stopped.

A. Hello dear parent! Try expressing your breastmilk and feed it to your baby with Babyhug stainless steel feeder. Give 3 meals and water intake along with daily breastfeeding. Consult your child’s doctor for further advice. Good luck and take care.
