Artificial Feeding

If the mother is unable to breast feed baby then artificial feeding is start. Infants of the working mother may need to be feed artificially. Mothers suffering from disease such as  tuberculosis transmit infection to babies through close contact and not through breast milk.

The milk used for artificial feeding is generally cow or buffalo milk or formula milk. Formula milk prepared according to instruction, and hygienically prepared in clean containers, is a safe for infant feeding .Dried skimmed milk contain fewer calories than natural milk, so it is not suitable infant feeding.
When artificial feeding is start usually give boiled cow or buffalo milk. Generally this milk is easily digestible. It is not compulsory to dilute the milk for feeding of infant because diluted milk contain fewer calories and less energy.

The fixed quantity of milk is offered in divided feed at 3-4 hours interval. Mother offer 100-125ml or initially estimated quantity of formula. The quantity of milk offered is then increased by 10-15ml.

Infant milk substitute should be should only on advice of a doctor as to the need for its use and the proper method of its use. Milk substitute is not the sole source of nourishment foe an infant. Also other things such as vegetables, Fruits and Pulses etc. are gradually introduce to your child diet.

in case of artificial feeding  care of the feeding bottle or milk containers taken properly. Feeding bottle of various type and shapes are used for artificial feeding .
Take care that feeding vessels and the rubber teats should be cleaned with a bottle brush and clean water after each feed. Bottle and nipple boiled before each feed. The boiled bottle and nipple should not be contaminated by careless handling part of nipple that goes into the mouth of baby should be specially protected from unnecessary handling.

Precaution when we use bottle to feed child:-

  •  Careful and hygienic preparation of infant food is most essential for health.
  •  Do not use fewer milk powder scoops than directed.
  •  Dilute milk powder with boiled water as given to provide adequate nutrient needed by your infant.
  • Concentrated feed will not provide the water needed by your child.

Bowel Movement (Artificial feeding):

The baby who feed on cow milk tend to be constipated .in such case give extra water ,sugar ,glucose or orange juice in between the feed. Feces of breast-feed babies are soft and yellow. During first few week stool may be passed after each feed. If child may pass once a week ,it is normal

Common feeding problem in infants and children's:

In some cases mother is fail to lactation .It is often due to poor motivation of mother ,anxiety ,worry, lack of confidence in her ability to breast feed. Malnourished mother and those suffering from illness may not produce enough milk for baby.
 

If mother nipples are retracted then baby may not be able to suck at the breast. The infant's gums bite on the nipple rather than press on the areola for obtaining milk, the nipples gets injured and cracked. If the mother has retracted nipples ,the baby may be fed on breast then mother use shields for feeding. Retraction of nipples can be prevented by antenatal care and gental  manipulation of nipples with fingers to prevent retraction.

Regarding Cow's milk:

When your child start eating solid food, you may not able to decide when you should switch from breast milk or formula to cow milk. The doctor's does not recommend cow milk before age of 9 months.

 Cow's milk does not contain very much iron and it's therefore more difficult for your baby to absorb it, i.e. the main reason why babies shouldn't be on cow's milk  too early is the worry of iron deficiency or anemia. However, by waiting at least nine months before giving them milk, iron deficiency should no longer be a concern.

If your baby is on breastfeeding, the longer you can keep your baby on breast milk, the better. Breast feeding means keep your baby more healthy and also it protect from diseases.

If you give your baby formula feeding, to bring cow's milk into your child's diet too early may be overwhelming since formula can be very expensive. When you decide to give cow's milk to your baby then ,it's whole milk so they're getting the benefits of that extra fat that isn't found in skim or even 2% milk. Some babies does like the switch from breast milk or formula to cow's milk, so better way to prepare mix cow milk half and half water until he accepts the new taste.

By keeping your babies best interests in mind, first things that  you'll be confident about the decision you make, whether you start giving them milk at 9 months or 12 months, or anywhere in between. Its depends upon your child he/she take it regularly or  create some problem after giving it.
However, if you choose to do it earlier (in between 9 and 12 months) you may want to introduce it gradually .

When you 'll decide to switch off to cow milk  first things to decide is whether  you give milk by bottle or any other utensils. Now a day various bottle and reusable Bottle Nipple  are available in market. Reusable bottle can reduce incidents of painful gas after feeding. It's nipple with the patented anti-vacuum valve. As baby feeds, the anti-vacuum valve of the nipple allows air to flow into the bottle, replacing the milk at a rate baby controls by natural reflex. This natural reflex reduces air ingestion and painful gas. So that baby is happier baby with fewer incidents of discomfort after feeding. Sterilizer bottles which sterilize themselves in 90 seconds in the microwave.
