    Bottle Feeding

    Uploaded by

    seigelystic
    Bottlefeeding provides an alternative to breastfeeding and allows for more accurate intake assessment. There are advantages like accommodating work schedules and special medical needs. Commercial formulas come in liquid or powder, while special formulas and cow's milk are alternatives. Contraindications include inadequate preparation skills, poor storage, contaminated water, cost, and lack of equipment. Nurses assess desire to bottlefeed, infant sucking ability, and formula knowledge. Potential diagnoses are ineffective feeding and knowledge deficits. Nurses teach proper formula preparation, sterilization, refrigeration, and feeding techniques like holding the infant, burping, and adjusting nipple size.

    Bottlefeeding

    A. Advantages

    1. Provides an alternative to breastfeeding


    2. Less restrictive than breastfeeding; may meet needs of working mothers
    3. Allows a more accurate assessment of intake
    4. May be indicated in the presence of a congenital anomaly such as cleft
    palate
    5. May be necessary for infants who require special formulas because of
    allergies or inborn errors of metabolism

    B. Types of formulas

    1. Commercial liquid or powdered formulas


    2. Special formulas
    3. Unmodified regular cow's milk, liquid or reconstituted; not appropriate for
    infants before 12 months of age; cow's milk contains more protein, more
    calcium, less vitamin C, less iron, and less carbohydrate

    C. Contraindications

    1. Inadequate intelligence to prepare formula


    2. Poor storage and refrigeration practices
    3. Contaminated water supply
    4. Cost of formula and equipment
    5. Lack of equipment to adequately prepare bottles

    Nursing Care of the Mother Who Is Bottlefeeding

    A. Assessment

    1. Desire to bottlefeed
    2. Sucking ability of infant
    3. Knowledge of formulas and formula preparation

    B. Analysis/Nursing Diagnoses

    1. Ineffective infant feeding pattern related to lack of knowledge


    2. Knowledge deficit related to new experience of preparing formula and
    feeding infant
    3. Infant's altered nutrition: less than body requirements related to sucking
    difficulties or formula that does not meet infant's needs
    C. Planning Implementation

    1. Teach preparation of formula


    a. Calculation of formula to yield 110 to 130 calories and 130 to200 ml of
    fluid per kilogram of body weight; caution regarding dangers of overdilution
    (water intoxication) and underdilution (excess weight gain)
    b. Proper sterilization of formula by terminal heat method and of feeding
    utensils by a full 25 minutes of boiling if the water supply is not purified or
    clear
    c. Teach about commercial formulas
    d. Proper refrigeration of formula

    2. Teach feeding techniques


    a. Always hold infant during feeding to provide warm body contact (bottle
    propping may contribute to aspiration of formula)
    b. Hold bottle so nipple is always filled with milk to prevent excessive air
    ingestion
    c. Adjust size of nipple hole to needs of baby (a premature infant needs a
    larger hole that requires less sucking)
    d. Burp during and after feeding; place on side to aid digestion
