“I am bottle-feeding my 2-month old boy, he fusses quite a bit during feeding sometimes, what could have been the cause? Have I given him the wrong formula?” Holly, 24 years old
Dr. Stork says: The ready-to-use baby formula is the most expensive and the easiest to use. Whichever formula you choose, follow instructions carefully. Be sure bottles and nipples are absolutely clean. Boil the ware and let it cool before you mix it with the formula. Always check the temperature of the formula before giving it to your baby, he may fuss because the milk is too hot. Never heat your baby’s bottle in the microwave oven. This is very dangerous as the bottle may feel cool but the baby formula inside could be so hot that it’ll burn your baby.
If he consistently and persistently fusses during feeding, It could also be possible that he’s allergic to cow’s milk. Consult your pediatrician if he needs to prescribe a baby formula made of soybean powder.
