Many novice parents often lie down to feed their children and raise the bottle high to feed their babies. In fact, these behaviors are wrong. In daily life, children are prone to vomiting and choking milk, which may lead to otitis media , , or even become severe. It only takes 4 simple steps from the holding position, bottle deflation, and latching position. Let’s take a look below.

1, holding position
We can hold the child in our arms naturally, with the head resting between the elbow sockets of our arms, and the forearms supporting the child's back, so that his body is semi-lying at a 45 degree angle posture.
2, Exhaust
We open the lid of the bottle and hear a sound like opening a soda drink, then press the exhaust hole to exhaust, and use the pacifier to gently tap around the child's mouth to allow him to have an active secretion. With the R movement, let the child's upper and lower lips hold the entire pacifier.
3. R-licking position
Let the bottle and the child's face be at 180 degrees, so that the milk in the bottle fills two-thirds of the nipple. As the milk in the bottle gradually decreases, the bottle needs to be slowly raised by about 30-45 degrees. , and expose the exhaust hole to the tip of the child's nose. When the milk in the bottle cannot fill the entire nipple, remove the bottle to prevent the child from inhaling air. It should be noted that do not raise the bottle high to feed the child. First, the milk will flow very quickly during the drinking process, and the child will easily choke on the milk. The second reason is that the parent's posture will cause the child's lower jaw to reach forward to reach the pacifier. Over time, the child will easily develop enlargement.
4. Burp the milk appropriately in the middle.
Don’t rush to let the child drink a bottle of milk in one go. You can burp the child gently before continuing to breastfeed halfway, so that the child will not vomit milk easily.
