Your doctor may recommend sterilizing bottles and nipples during the first few months. If using a dishwasher for bottles, additional sterilization may not be required. Follow your health care provider's instructions. If you are alone and both babies need to be fed, you may bottle feed them by putting them both in infant seats and positioning yourself between them. Take time to cuddle each baby after feeding and during burping.
Tips Use one spoon and one bowl when babies are ready for solid food, unless one baby is sick.
Feed baby food directly from the jar at room temperature, discarding any leftover food to avoid bacterial growth. When breastfeeding or bottlefeeding, burp babies midway through and after feedings. Consult your health care provider for advice about sleeping positions for babies after feeding.
