Feeding
These items will hopefully making eating for your little one (and you!) just a little bit easier.
Preemie nipples may be important to have as an option in the early days if you intend to bottle feed, EVEN if you do not have a preemie baby. This will slow the flow of milk/formula as it comes out of the bottle as too fast of a flow may cause tummy ...
