Your baby’s health. Information you should be aware of.

Question: When should I give my infant cow’s milk?

According to Dr. Benjamin Spock, the answer would be never! You maybe perplexed about this. But your kid should drink mother’s milk. It helps to keep your newborn healthy. The World Health Organization suggests that your tot should be breastfed for at least two years (ouch). And the first six months should be nothing but breast milk.

You should know that this helps to provide protection against diarrhea and respiratory tract infections. Many times I hear of mom’s complaining about their kid having diarrhea and found that the infant was not being breast fed but was on formula.

As a new mother, you probably will wonder whether your baby is sleeping
enough, or sleeping too much. There are guidelines of what to expect,
but of course these can vary from baby to baby. Even if you’ve had
children before, each baby will be different.

Your baby’s cold can be just as hard on you as it is on her.  But you
can help ease your baby’s discomfort and keep the infection from
worsening by ensuring she gets sufficient rest and liquids, which would
include breast milk or formula if she’s less than four months old. 
Older babies can have a little water, and by six months she can begin
drinking juices.

If you’re new mother, you already know that breastfeeding is best for
your baby. But not everyone can successfully breastfeed. What’s
important is that your baby gets the nourishment he needs to develop
and thrive. If your baby isn’t thriving on breast milk, then you need
to switch to formula. There are many different options to choose from.

As your newborn baby grows, it is slowly acclimating to sleeping at
night and being awake during the day. Also, as baby’s stomach is
growing and holding more breast milk or formula, it will be able to go
for longer periods between feedings at night.  At approximately three
months of age your baby will likely sleep about 15 hours out of each
24-hour period, and two thirds of that sleep will take place during the
night. Most babies will have settled into a daily sleep routine of two
or three sleep periods during the day, followed by “sleeping through
the night” for 6 to 7 hours after a late-night feeding.

New parents want to give their babies the very best. When it comes to
nutrition, the best first food for babies is breast milk. Experts
recommend that babies be breast-fed for six to 12 months. The only
acceptable alternative to breast milk is infant formula. Solid foods
can be introduced when the baby is 4 to 6 months old, but a baby should
drink breast milk or formula, not cow’s milk, for a full year. Cow’s
milk contains a different type of protein than breast milk. This is
good for calves, but human infants can have difficulty digesting it.
Bottle-fed infants tend to be fatter than breast-fed infants, but not
necessarily healthier.
