A. Dear mum, that’s right. It is better to avoid bottle feeding. Bottle feeding can be a source of infection for your baby. It can also interfere with your baby’s teeth development. Once baby gets used to it baby subsequently refuses to breastfeed, and it is a difficult habit to get rid of.

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.
