Motherhood: Breastfeeding Questions & Answers

Q. How often should a newborn be nursed?

A. You should nurse a newborn no less than 8 times a day, depending
upon how long he sleeps between feedings at night.  If he can go four
hours between feedings, then you will probably feed him twice between
11pm and 7am.  If you feed him right before he goes to bed, then you
may only have to get up one time during the night.

Babies: Bottle types

There are three types of baby bottles are available: glass, plastic and
plastic with disposable plastic liners. Glass bottles are very durable
but they are a little heavier to use and they are breakable. Plastic
bottles are also very sturdy and are more lightweight. Bottles with
liners are convenient since the liners don’t need to be sterilized but
they can also be expensive to use. Some plastic bottles are shaped at
an angle to minimize the amount of air the baby takes in her stomach
when feeding.
