    Bottle-fed babies do not recognize their own mom's underarm odor after 2 weeks of age. If you do not breastfeed, it may be better to bottle-feed while holding a baby bare-chested or under your shirt.

    Prop the baby in a semi upright position, cradled in your arms. Hold the bottle at a slight angle and make sure that the nipple is completly filled with milk to decrease the amount of air the baby is intaking, thus decreasing gassy tummies!
