Feeding....Shhhhhhhhh

If you are planning to breastfeed the baby, breastfeed as soon as possible after delivery. This may sound not very serious to you at first, but its really really important for babies to get to learn sucking and feeding. Once the bottle is introduced, babies tend to prefer bottles and may reject breast as its easy to get milk from bottle and no much effort is required(I swear, babies are that lazy ..:)).. So keep in mind to feed at the earliest after your baby is born

Feeding in initial weeks
Never ever introduce bottle in the initial weeks (until it becomes atmost necessary or suggested by doctor. You have to know that 2-3 drops of milk is sufficient for new born for the initial few days(until your milk comes in ). Till then, dont be tempted to feed the baby thru bottle by thinking that you are not getting enough milk . Experts say, every mother can produce the amount of milk her baby needs.

Feeding out
Some babies intially(may be first couple of times) dont show intrest in feeding outside. Babies get more tired and exhausted than at home because of being exposed to different people, shades, views. Outside world is a learning experience for your baby and babies do learn a lot in every visit. So plan for a single stop for some weeks that works better both for you and baby. Make sure to remember the timings. If you tend to forget, set alarm for every 2-2.5 hrs or look for crankiness in baby
