Bottle Feeding
Which teat should be used and when should it be changed? Bottles are usually sold with a set of newborn teats, made from rubber of silicon.

Goat's Milk Baby Formula
You might have wondered whether a goat's milk baby formula might be right for your baby, especially if you enjoy drinking goat's milk yourself.
