It's dangerous and not comfortable at all- a spoon works great, although a bit messy.
I used a syringe, but let the baby do the eating. Then they bob their little heads in the same rhythm they'd do with their own mama. I just barely pushed drops at a time in a slow even motion.
Congrats on your new little guy! |
It scared me! No kidding! I can't do that. So we dribble from the syringe. I am getting up 15 minutes earlier in the mornings before work (like 4:30 a.m. isn't early enough) so I know we're getting her full. She did eat millet today.
I'm learning! I have three people close by that can help me. THANK GOD!
