Infant feeding techniques

Infant feeding techniques are as follows: i. If it is a powder, pour the medicine into a small spoon for infants and mix it into a paste with a little warm boiled water, then put the spoon under the baby’s tongue and feed a spoonful of water if the child is slow to swallow; if the medicine is small, dip the powder onto the nipple or on top of a rubber pacifier and let the child suck directly, then the medicine will be infused into the inside of the mouth. Second, if it is a water preparation, use a small spoon for newborns and feed it little by little to make the medicine flow slowly into the mouth along the side of the corner of the mouth. Third, if it is a capsule preparation, use clean scissors to cut open one end of the capsule, then pour the medication into warm boiled water and mix it a bit before dropping it directly into the baby’s mouth along the corner of the mouth and under the tongue.
