Feeding

Eats every 2-3 hours - Burp when he acts squirmy or cries.

Breastmilk - Warm in mug with hot water in it until it is body temperature. Shake. Will burp halfway thru eating. He prefers this and spits up less. Return to fridge if he doesn't finish. Can use what's frozen if he runs out. Start from top-down in the bag holder.

Formula - Use baby water and 1 scoop of formula per 2 oz. Warm in mug with hot water in it until it is body temperature. Shake. Needs burped often. Will spit-up more probably. Return to fridge if he doesn't finish.
