DR. LAURA JANA’S EXPERT TIPS FOR HEADING HOME WITH YOUR NEWBORN
New parents are filled with joy and excitement upon bringing home their newborn, yet this time
can also be overwhelming. To help address the anxiety that new moms face during this time,
Playtex partnered with Dr. Laura Jana, a renowned pediatrician and co-author of the award-
winning, newly released second edition of the book, Heading Home With Your Newborn:
From Birth to Reality. Here, Dr. Jana provides some simple tips to help new parents adjust to
parenthood and the important role they play in feeding their newborns.
Go with the Flow with the Feedings: Getting babies to follow some semblance of a
feeding schedule is subject of great interest to many parents of newborns. It helps to
remember that not everyone eats the same thing, in the same amount, at the same time,
day in and day out–and babies are no exception! Prepare for a reasonable amount of
variation in the amount your baby eats as you establish a routine with your baby. Focus your
attention on making sure that your newborn is waking up every few hours to feed and is
getting enough to eat to gain weight and grow as expected.
Babies, Bubbles and Burping: Gas, colicky symptoms and spit-up are some of the most
common feeding challenges new moms face. If you find yourself faced with a gassy baby,
try burping your baby halfway through the feeding as well as after. Also try to reduce the
amount of air your baby swallows while feeding by responding to your baby’s cues that
he’s hungry before he really starts crying to keep him from swallowing extra air. To further
reduce colicky symptoms, gas and spit-up, consider using a bottle that doesn’t interfere with
an infant’s natural suck, swallow and breathing patterns or cause the baby to swallow extra
air. A bottle system like Playtex
