Baby Feeding There are things that you need to look out for when you are feeding your baby at the different stages of their development. Many parents make bad choices because they simply do not know the dangers of eating. This is especially true of new parents. New parents have not learned what is and is not appropriate when feeding their young children. Babies always need to have their heads supported properly when eating and should be burped after every ½ ounce of formula. This will prevent choking, regurgitation and gas.
