When feeding your baby, hold her head a little higher than her tummy.
Hold the bottom of the bottle up so that the nipple stays full of formula. This
way, your baby doesn't swallow air and spit up. Never prop the bottle, because
your baby could choke. Always hold your baby while you feed her-feeding time is
more than just satisfying your baby's hunger. It is also a time to bond with and
get to know your infant. Dad, grandparents and other family members can bond too,
by feeding the baby.
