37. Discuss why it is important that a caregiver hold an infant during feedings?
ANSWER:
Holding an infant during feedings reduces the risk of aspiration or accidental choking. Infants
who are fed while lying down or with a propped bottle may not be able to turn their heads
away from the bottle or to cough effectively. Holding, cuddling, and talking with an infant
during feedings also fulfills important physical (contact, touch), social-emotional (trust,
security), and communication needs that foster caregiver/infant attachment (bonding) and
early learning.
