Yes dear friend you heard that correctly your pediatrician isn’t showing you how to feed your baby. They aren’t observing your baby feeding. So how do you know if you’re truly feeding your baby correctly? Some would assume that bottle feeding is easy, you just put it in their mouths. Here’s some of what I’m looking for when observing a bottle feeding:

*Babies positioning sitting up, laying down
*Does baby open wide for bottle or does care giver just place ni**le in mouth
*How far is the ni**le placed in babies mouth?
*Is baby doing the work or is gravity?
*Does the parent have to move the bottle around to keep baby sucking?
*Is milk leaking from the bottle?
*Is baby gulping or can clicking be heard?
*Is baby swallowing lots or air or working really hard?
*How long does it take baby to finish a bottle?

Have you already started receiving all of the mailers to remind you about ? There’s a new one in my mailbox daily. Here’s a tip from an IBCLC: Check the details of the benefit packages they are offering. I know the prices are going up (as they have done yearly) if you’re pregnant or lactating you’ll want to review what lactation coverage you have, providers in-network in your area and if you don’t have anyone in-network you’ll want to know if you have out of network coverage. Anyone remember when co-pays were less than $40 or even $0?
