How to use a measuring spoon The measuring spoon, which was actually made to offer baby food, has been widely used to supplement breast milk or formula. In the video, I show how to use the measuring spoon in practice, but first, I give you 5 tips that will help: 1-Don't wait until the baby is very hungry, otherwise he will get nervous and not want to drink milk from the spoon. So anticipate this moment. Or, give the baby a little breast milk to calm him down. 2-Milk that has come into contact with the baby's mouth should not be reused, it should be discarded. 3- Ideally, the person who will offer the milk from the spoon should not be the mother, otherwise the baby probably won't want to breastfeed. 4-Rolling the baby in a cigar will help to restrain the baby's arms. 5-Don't keep taking the spoon in and out of the baby's mouth all the time. Positioning it on the lower lip Using a measuring spoon can prevent nipple confusion because the baby uses the same muscles as when breastfeeding and can also prevent flow confusion because the milk is released little by little! Hi, I'm Mary, a mother of two! I decided to create this channel because I had a hard time as a first-time mother. I didn't look for information and had a lot of difficulties at the beginning, especially regarding breastfeeding. That's why I decided to study a lot about newborn care and specialized in breastfeeding, which is the part of motherhood that I can say I like most. Here on the channel, I bring a lot of information based on studies and also on my experience as a mother of two. I give tips on pregnancy, newborn care, breastfeeding, baby sleep, baby behavior, weaning and much more. My intention is to help you face this beginning of your journey as a mother, with more peace of mind. I hope the videos help you, from the bottom of my heart!!
