Bottle feeding process is wrong. Bottle feeding can lead to serious illness and death. Bottle feeding can cause illness such as diarrhoea unless the water is boiled and the bottle and nipples are sterilized in boiling water before each feeding. A bottle fed baby is 25 times more likely to due of diarrhoea that baby fed exclusively on breast milk for the first 6 months. The best food for a baby who, for whatever reason, cannot be breastfed is milk squeezed from the mother's breast, it should be given in a cup that has been sterilized in boiling water. Mother can use sterilized spoon to feed milk for the baby. A bottle is difficult to clean and keep free from germs. If the bottle is not cleaned and boiled properly, it can cause serious infections in the baby.
The prime message related to Breastfeeding:
- Breast milk alone is the best possible food and drink for a baby in the first six months of life.
- Babies should start to be breastfed as soon as possible within 30 minutes after birth. Sucking will help stimulate milk production. Virtually, every mother can breastfed her baby.
- Frequent sucking is needed to produce enough breast milk for the baby's needs.
- Bottle feeding can lead to serious illness and death.
- Breastfeeding should continue well into the second year a chid's and for4 longer, if possible, if mother's health permits.
