This one is the most common and important question, as feeding is a cornerstone during this period. The newborn should be fed exclusively of breast milk during the first six months after birth.
Breastfeeding can be uncomfortable and sometimes very painful. The mother should be surrounded by friends and family to cheer her up during this process. Breastfeeding should be started as soon as possible, and supplements such as water, whey, or milk drinks must be avoided.
Consult with our experts at newborn care at Pediatrics of Sugar Land for individualized attention according to each baby’s nutritional requirements. Proper compliance with feeding will allow your child’s growth.
