A. dear mum, it is better to avoid bottle feeding for your 5 months old baby, Aahana. Bottle is risky because in spite of good cleaning bottle can cause many 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.
