Breastfeeding seems to get all the glory when it comes to bonding with a newborn.  However, many of us cannot nurse or choose to opt in for the combo of breastfeeding and bottle feeding.  Does this mean you are at a disadvantage?  I don’t think so because bottle feeding can give you opportunities to bond with your newborn as well.

Tips for Bonding With Baby While Bottle Feeding

If you are bottle feeding here are a few tips for bonding with your newborn while bottle feeding.  I hope you find some of these tips useful so you and baby can start bonding right away.

Skin to skin contact

If you are not able to breastfeed you can still choose the skin to skin contact while bottle feeding your newborn.   Did you know that skin to skin contact boots our oxytocin hormones which can place a crucial role in bonding with your newborn?  Give it a try.

Talk to them

While you feed baby have a conversation, there is nothing wrong with chatting with your newborn while they eat.

Sing to them

Not in the mood for talking?  Try singing to the baby while you feed them.

Hold the bottle

We already know propping the bottle while the baby is eating is dangerous!  Well, it also takes away from your bonding time with the baby, so NO propping the bottle up!

Turn off the TV

If you are watching TV take a few minutes and shut down the TV so you can spend it focused on your newborn.  I mean we all love watching TV from time to time but bonding with your baby should be a priority, and it’s hard to do while you are watching your favorite shows.  It is for me anyway, I get distracted.

Look into those sweet little eyes

Gazing at your newborn while you are feeding is an excellent way to bond with your baby while bottle feeding.  Plus you might get a cute little grin out of them if you are lucky.

Avoid stress

I know easier said than done but if you want to bond with the baby, it’s best that you are not stressed out.  I know buying formula, in the beginning, can be stressful because you are not used to the new expense and it’s often something you have to make a quick trip to the store for.  Remember you can try brands like Well Beginnings and get more for less at exclusively at Walgreens to help avoid some stress!

Well Beginnings understands that keeping baby happy and healthy is a mother’s top priority.  It doesn’t matter if it is a 1 am feeding or a 4 pm diaper change, they want us to know we are using the best products for our little ones.  This is why they have researched the ingredients in their baby products!  They want to make sure their products meet the highest quality standards.  They offer everything from an awesome line of baby formula and diapers to clinically tested, hypoallergenic baby shampoo and wipes.
