What You’ll Learn Here

Quick Tips to Get Started

Drying bottles: A light towel wipe is fine; a brief air‑dry works for most families. Sterilise regularly, but don’t stress over a few drops of moisture.

Feeding speed: If your baby gulps, pause the bottle, tilt it slightly, and let them breathe. A slower flow reduces gas and reflux.

Old‑fashioned formula: Modern nutrition is safer, but if you’re exploring vintage recipes, always check for up‑to‑date nutrient guidelines and consult a health professional first.
