clean feeding bottel ..... better to avoid a bottel and use a cup. as bottels are more difficult to clean and cause nipple confusion. so prefer to use a cup. just bring d cup near babies lower lip n tilt the cup baby will him self suckle the milk. even premies do so . if u pour the milk in mouth it can cause choking and over pouring but if baby suckle it becomes more easy and safe . key :: more u feed more milk. easily a mother can make milk for 2, 3 babies and even more.
