These early moments, your baby’s first months, are precious. It’s a time to build a special bond that will last a lifetime—for both of you.

 

Hold them close. Feel their warmth. See your baby grow and change every day.

These are the simple pleasures you and your loved ones can enjoy sharing the feeding experience. Every time you rock your baby, look into their eyes, take their tiny hand in yours, sing softly or soothe them while you give them the nutrition they need, you are building trust. And the bond goes both ways. Skin-to-skin contact when feeding by breast or bottle can boost intimacy even more. It is a wonderful time of discovery. And, when you’re ready, it can also be an amazing time to go out and explore the world together.

I am very thankful for Enfamil A+® convenient ‘nipple ready’ formula. It played an important role in helping my 2-day old daughter to regain her strength.

5 Tips for Getting Out

Start small

Take baby to the grocery store, mall, or park for an hour or so. Leave home right after a feeding so you’ve got a happy baby.

Be prepared

If you’re breastfeeding, wear a shirt that’s simple to lift and a nursing bra that opens easily. If you are uncomfortable breastfeeding in public, bring a blanket. If you’re formula feeding, pack extra of whatever format you use so you’re prepared for an unexpected delay.

Consider convenience

If you’re formula feeding, you’ve got options. With Enfamil A+® Nursette® Bottles, just add a nipple and you’re ready to feed your newborn. For slightly older babies, Enfamil A+ Ready to Feed Bottles are in Nipple-Ready bottles. No mixing. No measuring. Just add nipple.*

Keep it clean

Before feeding your baby, wash your hands or use a sanitizing gel. If you’re formula feeding with powder or liquid concentrate, bring sterile water from home so you don’t have to use water from a drinking fountain or bathroom sink.

Try a longer trip

If you’re driving, leave close to naptime so your baby can sleep en route and be alert and refreshed when you arrive at your destination.
