1 Bottle Feeding Your Baby Bottle feeding with formula will meet your baby s food needs. Your doctor will help decide which formula is right for your baby. Never give milk from cows or goats to a baby during the first year. Types of Formula Formula comes in three forms: Ready to feed formulas need no mixing. Pour the formula into a clean bottle. Use ready to feed formula if you are unsure about the quality of your water. Once opened, use the formula within 48 hours. This type of formula costs the most. Liquid concentrate formula needs to be mixed with equal parts of water. Once mixed, use this formula within 48 hours. This formula costs less than ready to feed. Powdered formula needs to be mixed with water. Once mixed, use this formula within 24 hours. This type of formula costs the least. 1
2 Cómo alimentar a su bebé con biberón Alimentar a su bebé con biberón satisfará sus necesidades alimenticias. Su médico le ayudará a decidir qué fórmula es la adecuada para su bebé. Nunca le dé leche de vaca o cabra a un bebé durante el primer año de vida. Tipos de fórmula La fórmula se encuentra en tres formas: La fórmula lista para tomar no necesita mezclarse. Vierta la fórmula en un biberón limpio. Use fórmula lista para tomar si no está segura de la calidad del agua. Una vez abierta, úsela dentro de las 48 horas. Este tipo de fórmula es la más cara. La fórmula concentrada líquida se tiene que mezclar con partes iguales de agua. Una vez mezclada, úsela dentro de las 48 horas. Esta fórmula es más barata que la fórmula lista para tomar. La fórmula en polvo debe mezclarse con agua. Una vez mezclada, úsela dentro de las 24 horas. Este tipo de fórmula es la más barata Bottle Feeding Your Baby. Spanish. 1
3 Water from your faucet is often clean enough to use unless it is supplied by a well or your house has old plumbing. Old plumbing may contain lead. Lead poisoning can cause brain damage in your baby. If you have well water or old plumbing, have the water tested every year. You may need to use bottled water for your baby. Feeding Your Baby Ask your baby s doctor how many ounces and how often to feed your baby. Every time your baby cries he may not be hungry. Watch your baby for feeding cues such as moving his hands to his mouth, movement of legs or arms, and making noises. Do not delay feeding when your baby has signs of being hungry even if you feel you have just fed your baby. Each baby s eating habits are dierent. As a general guide: During the first few days, most babies eat about 1 to 2 ounces at each feeding every 2 to 4 hours. By two weeks, most babies are eating 3 to 4 ounces at each feeding every 3 to 4 hours. In time, your baby will develop a pattern. Your baby may eat dierent amounts at times. Preparing the Formula Wash your hands before touching the bottle or nipple. If you are using liquid concentrate formula, mix the formula with equal parts of water. If you are using powdered formula, mix 1 level scoop of formula with 2 fluid ounces of water. Stir the formula well. If you add too much or too little water to the formula, your baby may not get enough food. Do not add cereal, honey, corn syrup or other ingredients to your baby s formula. 2
4 Por lo general, el agua del grifo es lo suficientemente limpia a menos que sea agua de pozo o que su casa tenga cañerías viejas. Las cañerías viejas pueden contener plomo y la intoxicación por plomo puede causar daño cerebral a su bebé. Si tiene agua de pozo o cañerías viejas, haga analizar el agua todos los años. Es posible que tenga que usar agua embotellada para su bebé. Cómo alimentar a su bebé Pregúntele a su médico cuántas onzas y con qué frecuencia debe alimentar a su bebé. Cada vez que su bebé llora no necesariamente es porque tiene hambre. Observe si su bebé muestra señales de querer alimentarse como llevarse las manos a la boca, hacer movimientos con las piernas y brazos y hacer ruidos. No retrase la alimentación cuando su bebé dé muestras de tener hambre, incluso si recién lo ha alimentado. Los hábitos alimenticios de cada bebé son diferentes. Como guía general: Durante los primeros días, la mayoría de los bebés ingieren 1 a 2 onzas (30-60 mililitros) en cada toma, cada 2 a 4 horas. A las dos semanas, la mayoría de los bebés están ingiriendo 3 a 4 onzas ( mililitros) en cada toma, cada 3 a 4 horas. Con el tiempo, su hijo desarrollará un patrón. En ocasiones, su bebé puede ingerir diferentes cantidades. Cómo preparar la fórmula Lávese las manos antes de tocar el biberón o el chupón. Si usa fórmula concentrada líquida, mézclela con partes iguales de agua. Si usa fórmula en polvo, mezcle 1 cucharada rasa de fórmula con 2 onzas líquidas (60 mililitros) de agua. Agítela bien. Si agrega demasiada o muy poca agua a la fórmula, es posible que su bebé no reciba suficiente alimento. No agregue cereales, miel, jarabe de maíz u otros ingredientes a la fórmula de su bebé.

5 Throw out unused mixed formula left in your baby s bottle. Start with a fresh bottle of formula at each feeding. Germs called bacteria can grow between feedings and make your baby sick. Bottle Nipples Use a nipple for your baby s age. Make sure the nipple hole is small enough so the formula drips out slowly. Warming Bottles Formula should be at room temperature. To warm formula, place the bottle in a pan or bowl of heated water. Mix the formula in the bottle and test the temperature by dropping a few drops of formula on the inside of your wrist. Never warm bottles in the microwave or on the stove because it destroys vitamins and does not heat the formula evenly. The bottle could explode or cause serious burns to your baby /2011 Health Information Translations Unless otherwise stated, user may print or download information from for personal, non-commercial use only.

6 Deseche la fórmula mezclada sobrante en el biberón. Comience con una botella nueva de fórmula en cada sesión de alimentación. Algunos gérmenes llamados bacterias pueden crecer entre sesiones de alimentación y enfermar a su bebé. Chupones Use un chupón adecuado para la edad de su bebé. Asegúrese de que el orificio del chupón sea lo suficientemente pequeño para que la fórmula gotee lentamente. Cómo calentar los biberones La fórmula debe estar a temperatura ambiente. Para calentarla, coloque el biberón en una cacerola o recipiente con agua caliente. Agite el biberón con fórmula y pruebe su temperatura colocando unas pocas gotas de fórmula en el área interior de su muñeca. Nunca caliente biberones en el horno de microondas o en los hornillos de la cocina, ya que destruyen las vitaminas y no los calientan en forma pareja. Además, el biberón podría explotar y provocarle graves quemaduras a su bebé /2011 Health Information Translations Unless otherwise stated, user may print or download information from for personal, non-commercial use only.
