Side-Lying Bottle Feeding: Safety Considerations:
This is an excellent position for babies who experience reflux or are prone to vomiting. Placing the baby on the left side during feeding increases the distance from the bottom of the stomach to the esophagus, making it less likely for them to vomit or experience reflux.

Sterilize baby bottles
It is essential to sterilize all of your baby’s feeding equipment, including bottles and nipples, until they are at least 12 months old. This practice will help protect your baby from infections, particularly diarrhea and vomiting.

Where should baby bottles be stored after sterilization?
Store the dry, sterilized feeding equipment in a clean, lidded container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. It is essential to sterilize your bottles daily. Store the clean, dry expressing equipment in a new plastic bag or a clean, covered container until you need to use it again.

How many baby bottles should you have for a newborn?
Newborn babies typically feed between 10 and 14 times within 24 hours, with the frequency of feeds gradually decreasing as they grow. If you are exclusively bottle-feeding your baby, whether with formula or expressed breast milk, it is advisable to have approximately four to six bottles and nipples to begin with.
