Question 1

why is my 7 week old baby crying forth during bottle feed? sometimes he coughs, arches back and seems like he gets a tummy ache. reflux?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like it: could be reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux does present like this. Is he spitting up? Has he been bottle feeding since birth, or were you nursing at all? How long has he been doing this. Is he gaining weight appropriately? You should discuss this with his pediatrician, so he can be examined and the proper diagnosis can be made and treatment, if necessary.

Try not to: Feeding a baby in a slightly head up position will prevent any of the formula getting into the middle ear and causing ear infections.

Question 3

Plan from now to breast feed your next child for at least 6 months.

Question 4

how many times solid food and bottle feed to be given to 6 month old baby?

Accepted Answer

Food introduction: The general recommendation for food introduction in infants is rice cereal at 4 months, vegetables at 5 months, fruits and fruit juices at 6 months, finger foods &amp; meats at 9 months.  A three meal two snack schedule is the usual goal, but adapting this schedule to your family's normal routine should be fine as long as your baby is comfortable and gaining weight appropriately.

Question 5

Formula usually same: Up to around 9 months infants will generally continue taking the same amount of formula as before they started solids.

Question 6

6 month old baby is taking 2 times solid food then how much quantity bottle feed to be given?

Feeding Amounts: Approximately 8 ounces every 3-4 hours, but the baby may want more or less and that is fine. They regulate their own feedings after solids are introduced.

Question 7

will 2months old baby gets indigestion if he drinks bottle feed milk in a moving car?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Drinking milk in a moving car is not a problem.  But, being in a car seat for several hours, can lead to gas pains.  Allowing the baby to lie on its stomach and patting its back after traveling will help it to pass the gas.

Question 8

my 2hlf month old baby on bottle feed than breast feed, she not try to pass stool by herslf , daily im applying vaseline thn she pass  . why like this?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can check: The doctor can check the baby to see if the baby is fine or is constipated. Some babies do not poop every day, while others are having problems and need to poop more often than that. Generally, as long as a baby is normal in eating, growth, and development; and does not have firm poop, bloating, or tummy aches; then the number of poops per day is not very important.

Question 9

my 5 week old baby has been bottle fed recently instead of breastfed bc i take pain meds for csection pain. his pampers have been full of a green poop but not watery and white specks could be formula idk. what is normal poops for bottle fed babies?

Accepted Answer

Normal poops: Baby BM's can be yellow, green or brown. Where breastmilk feeding babies have liquidy, seedy poops, formula fed babies may have more pasty or thicker poops. Sounds like your baby has normal poops.
