3. Force Feeding:

It may seem like a good way of keeping your baby amused but it is not an intelligent idea, especially, stuff toys. The dust that can accumulate on them can harm the baby or even the fibers of the toy. This can even lead to choking. So best would be to place one single piece so that the baby doesn’t feel alone in his crib.

5. Giving them water or other liquids to drink:

Giving the baby water might interfere with his capacity to absorb nutrition from the breast feed, also curb his reduce his appetite. If you think the baby is thirsty just feed him.
