Safety when feeding a child

• If you are in doubt about the good quality of the tap water in your area, use butylated water, not distilled.

• Do not heat artificial infant formula in the microwave oven: the risk of uneven heating is too high.

• You can safely re-use the remaining mixture for several hours if you immediately remove it in the refrigerator after first use. Cover the bottles with lids to keep the nipples clean. However, for the , do not use the remains of the mixture as long as the bacteria from the baby's saliva could penetrate the maximum safety of the .Do not use remnants of the mixture if they have stood at room temperature for more than three hours.

• If you are on the road and you can not put the mixture in the refrigerator, the safest and simplest are jars with a ready-to-use sterile 240 ml mixture. Dry mix takes up less space if clean water is available. If you take home a mixture cooked at home, keep it in a thermally insulated container with a small piece of ice or a bottle of frozen juice.

• Do not make a bottle support out of the child. Do not leave your child lying in bed and self-feed yourself from the bottle. Leaving a child unattended during feeding is potentially dangerous, because a child may choke on food and may need your help. In addition, feeding lying allows milk to flow along the eustachian tube into the middle ear, which leads to ear inflammation.(This happens much less often in children who are breastfed.) Self-care deprives both you and the child of the priceless communication that occurs during feeding.

PERSONALITY AT BOTTLES OF THE BOTTLE

The word "to feed" means to nurse, giving not only food, but still tenderness and affection, regardless of what you feed, breast or bottle. Feeding time is more than time for eating. It is also a time for special intimacy. Mutual giving, being a part of breastfeeding, should also give joy and during feeding from a bottle. In addition to the bottle, give your child their eyes, their skin, their voice and their affection. The child will return

to you more than just an empty bottle.

Special warmth of close contact, skin to skin, can be achieved by wearing short-sleeved clothing and partially undressing and undressing the baby for the duration of the feeding. Hold the bottle at your breast, as if it grows from your body, and look into the eyes of the child. Interact with your child during feeding. You really need the baby to feel that the bottle is a part of you. Most children, whether they get a breast or a bottle, drink better if you keep silence when they suck, but in pauses, children like communication. Observe your child in anticipation of the signals of what he wants during the feeding to communicate. Over time, you will develop an intuitive sense of your child's rhythm. A child should feel that he is fed by a person, not a bottle.
