Answer 1

infant have to be take care veru seriously as they are very sensitive to infections.

for issues like feeding : scheduled feeding is superior becuase in demand feeding the infant cries alot and become irritated where as in scheduled feeding the infant gets proper diet in proper duration.

handling sleep problems issue : the infant need the sleep of 20 hours

and for this proper silence in the room to be maintained as this will give the infant a sound sleep and after every diet the infant must sleeep for at least 3 hours

breast feeding v/s bottle feeding : in this for the infant the breast milk is very inportant as it gives immunity power to the infant and it has various nutrient which are missing in bottle feeding
