No. Please do not use a feeding bottle. It does not depend on which nipple you use. They remain unclean and your child will catch an infection. If the baby has difficulty sucking from breast, you can express breast milk and then feed them through something known as paladai. This is the best way to feed your child.

Using pallada or spoon glass method is much better for preterm babies as they are susceptible for more and severe infections, which bottles may have. For more detailed information, please book a consultation. Take care

No why to give bottle feeding. If on breastfeeding, Child is having weight gain Passing urine 6 to 8 times/day Then no need of top feeds, especially bottle feeding
