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.

The task of developing a regular and restful sleep pattern for a new
baby is often an exercise in frustration and confusion for many
parents. Research has shown that hospitalized infants grow more
rapidly when correctly massaged. This is due in large part to the fact
that massaged babies actually spent more time being quiet and calm, yet
alert, and that when they did sleep, it was deep and very restful.
This resulted in a more structured sleep pattern, as well as longer
sleeping periods at night.
