Formula feeding:

Things you may need:

• formula- discuss with your pediatrician which would be best for you and your baby
• bottles a few 4oz and a few 8oz
• bottle and nipple brush
• bibs- formula can stain clothing so I always use a bib

Bottle feeding is easy. To find out the amount of formula you need per ounce just look on the back of the bottle. Remember to burp your baby. I've found that it works best to burp in between ounces. Formula milk is harder for baby to digest so she may produce more spit up then with breast milk.

If constipation occurs discuss this with your pediatrician. They may either switch formula or reduce the amount used per ounce.
