How to bottle feed
The early days with your baby are a great time to get to know and love each other. This can be done by keeping your baby close to you when you bottle feed, enjoying skin contact. Babies will feel more secure if most feeds are given by parents or main caregivers, especially in the early weeks, as this will really help you bond with each other.
