What is the harm of using one bottle-feed a day When I am boiling the bottles carefully?
1. Baby starts refusing the breast due to nipple confusion. 2. It will reduces your own milk supply. 3. The Baby becomes more prone to infections even though bottles are boiled because your baby misses protection of your milk. Also, since many things are involved in preparing a bottlefeed e.g. spoon, sugar, sugarpot, milk, bottle, caps, nipple and your own hands, a minor mistake at any step could lead to a major infection. Despite this, if you must start bottlefeeding we shall advise you to boil all the material for 20-25 minutes. Wash your hands with soap before you handle the bottle. Don’t put your finger into the milk to check its temperature.
