Discuss why it is important that a caregiver hold an infant during feedings?
What will be an ideal response?
Holding an infant during feedings reduces the risk of aspiration or accidental choking. Infants who are fed while lying down or with a propped bottle may not be able to turn their heads away from the bottle or to cough effectively. Holding, cuddling and talking with an infant during feedings also fulfills important physical (contact, touch), social- emotional (trust, security), and communication needs that foster caregiver/infant attachment (bonding) and early learning.
