Feeding a newborn can be one of the more challenging parts of you and your infant getting to know each other. But however you get your baby the nutrition they need, there are some classic tips, tricks, and things to expect.
In this, the second part of our newborn feeding episode, we discuss topics like:
-Choosing a durable, safe, cleanable bottle (we recommend glass!)
-Expect the unexpected! Nobody knows exactly which nipple type your infant is going to prefer, so there's no need to buy absolutely everything ahead of time. Partially because...
-You are going to lose things!
-Choosing a formula for your baby (hint: most of them are pretty much the same, because it's the law!)
-Safety of formula is not assured, if it has had tp be shipped from overseas, unfortunately.
-How to make (and how not to make!) that formula
-Vitamin D is important for all newborn babies, not just breastfed babies!
-Plain water is dangerous for newborns, even if it's hot out...
-Safe breastmilk storage can be a but confusing, but storage bag packaging often has got your back (and ours!), in a pinch!
It can be a overwhelming, but you are in good company! Reach out to your child's doctor, your lactation consultant, your ob/gyn, and friends and family for support!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
