Helpful Feeding Hints

2) Allow the baby to move the nipple in the mouth for best placement.

3) Some families have reused Mead Johnson nursers and found them to be top rack dishwasher safe.

4) Consider discussing with Pediatrician increasing caloric content of formula to offset reduced volume intake.

5) Babies sometimes have difficulty adapting to a different feeding method/device because of different texture/composition.

6) Consider interchanging teats to best meet the needs of the baby.
