How Often Should You Feed Your Baby?
It may take a few weeks to get your baby on a “feeding schedule”. Most pediatricians will tell you to feed your new born as often as they demand it, usually every 2-3 hours day and night. Breast-fed babies may require more frequent feedings as breast milk is easier to digest than formula, therefore the baby will feel hungry more often. After about 6-8 weeks, this may change to every 4-5 hours.
When Should Your Baby Have Immunization Shots?
Immunization shots are preventative measures to protect babies from diseases that at one time were the leading causes of death among infants including Typhoid, Measles and Whooping Cough. Your pediatrician can explain the benefits of immunization as well as the possible, though very rare, risks that may be involved. It is important to get all the information regarding each vaccine including what side effects to look for once the shot has been given. Keep a record of every one and be sure to discuss everything with your pediatrician.
