A. Yes you can do so but the express milk should be given with the help of katori spoon it is not advisable to give bottle feeding to the child because in the long run it can lead to infections as well as can cause problems in the the tooth eruption of the child. it is advisable that you should go for either katori spoon feeding and later on with the help of a small baby glass feeding or sipper feeding

A. Yup Absolutely it would completely depend on your comfort if you want to go ahead with both of feeding for the child but you are just giving breastfeeding only all the way then that’s very good you can continue with it in the same manner without any issue

Q. Hi, My baby is two months old. I was feeding her with breastfeed and formula feed both. For last 10 days she had congestion hence was not taking milk properly and only breastfeed was sufficient. Now she is completely fine but not sucking the bottle either with formula feed or my expressed milk. Only breastfeed is not sufficient for her, I have tried a lot since two days to give feed through bottle but she is not sucking at all. Please advise.

Mom of a 2 m old boy

Q. #AskTheExpert Hello, my son is 2 months and 10 days old. He drinks only breast milk. However, I have observed that when he drinks directly from the breast he vomits a lot and when he drinks expressed breastmilk from a bottle, he vomits relatively less. He has reflux problems from the beginning and hence we feed him in an upright position in both breast and bottle. Is this normal? Is it ok to feed him milk expressed into a bottle?
