Babies are given supplement feeding once they are six months old. The transition from breast milk to supplement food is not easy for the baby. Mothers should show extra patience and care while planning for this transition.
Here are a few steps that mothers can follow to help their baby go through this transition very smoothly:
The process of express breast milk might not suit all mothers. If the breasts swell after the process, it is not advised to continue the process. In such a condition mothers can cup feed cow’s milk to the baby. But special precaution should be taken that the cow milk is boiled properly to kill the germs. Add equal amount of boiled water to the boiled milk and then feed the baby.
It might take a period of 2-3 days to 2- 3 weeks for babies to get accustomed to supplement feeding. But it is ensured that the baby will have a smooth way towards supplement food.
