Editing

Hi, myself along with a partner will be editing this page for a school project. We are expanding on the amount of information provided and focusing on the importance of breastmilk. Thanks Amberzentner (talk) 03:01, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adding in information

I have added some important information that was left out of this article. I added in the Formula subheading and the information regarding using formula. This article lacks information about forumla. I also added in the feeding schedule for Newborn - 6 months and included the information about how much a liquid the baby needs at each stage of life. I also added in the Starting solid's subheading with the information about the baby needing iron at 6 months of age. The article is still missing some formatting such as creating subheadings for the information included for birth - 6 months and 6 - 12 months. The benefit's of breastmilk should be included in the breastmilk article in wikipedia and not in this article.Henrysotoii (talk) 16:21, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to retitle and re-scope article

I propose that this article be retitled "Infant feeding" and the scope broadened, as there is a lot more to feeding than nutrition. Other issues that affect parents' choices in infant feeding include:

Hygiene (one of the main reasons to breastfeed is to prevent illness from contaminated water or bottles)
Maternal health benefits of breastfeeding
Bonding
Development of eating habits
Development of motor skills when starting solids

Aren't those topics covered by Breastfeeding? Zefr (talk) 02:28, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Breastfeeding doesn't talk about the issues involved in starting babies on solids. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 02:53, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
