If you’re like most new moms, feeding your baby on the go makes you a little nervous. It’s not always easy to breastfeed comfortably or to calmly prepare a bottle of formula when your baby is screaming in a public place. And when solids are part of your baby’s daily diet, what’s the best way to manage jars, containers, spoons, and bibs?

Breastfeeding in public

Once you get the hang of nursing your baby, it’s by far the most convenient way of feeding your baby fresh, warm milk virtually anywhere, anytime. No special equipment is required. That said, some moms enjoy using certain products such as baby feeder that make breastfeeding on the go more comfortable for them.

What helps:

• A cover-up.A lightweight blanketlike drape that attaches around your neck with a snap or Velcro provides privacy and stays put — even if your baby tugs on it while nursing.
• A breast pump. If you get into the habit of pumping and storing breast milk, you’ll always have the option of bottle feeding your baby. That comes in handy when you can’t be with your baby at feeding time or you’re somewhere that you can’t easily or comfortably breastfeed. You can store pumped breast milk at room temperature (no more than 77 degrees Fahrenheit, 25 degrees Celsius) for up to four hours, in a cooler with refreezable ice packs for up to 24 hours, and in a refrigerator for up to 72 hours (three days). To heat it, just put the baby milk bottle in a container of warm water for a few minutes or use a portable bottle warmer. It’s also fine to give breast milk to your baby cold if he’ll take it that way.
• Inflatable breastfeeding pillow.If you need pillow support, look for an inflatable breastfeeding pillow that tucks into your diaper bag. It will position your baby correctly and reduce strain on your back and arms so you can nurse comfortably wherever you go.

What type of stroller is safe for a newborn?

If you plan to use a baby stroller Singapore for your newborn, make sure that the stroller reclines — since newborns can’t sit up or hold up their heads. Some strollers fully recline or can be used with a bassinet attachment or an infant-only car seat. Most umbrella strollers, however, don’t provide adequate head and back support for young babies.

Also, most jogging strollers aren’t designed to recline. As a result, they aren’t appropriate for babies until about age 6 months.
