杯喂 CUP FEEDING

不能母乳亲喂的宝宝也可以选择奶瓶喂养以外的方式

A BABY NOT FED AT THE BREAST CAN BE FED WITHOUT A BOTTLE

杯喂从宝宝出生后就可以开始。杯子里可以装挤出来的母乳或婴儿配方奶。你可以用任何干净、表面光滑、敞口的杯子用于杯喂。

Cup feeding can be used from birth. It is suitable for both expressed breastmilk and infant formula. You can use any clean, open cup with a smooth surface.

从单次喂奶的平均时间来看，杯喂与奶瓶喂没有明显的差异。

Cup feeding has no notable difference to bottles for average time per feed.

杯子比奶瓶更安全。奶瓶的奶嘴和瓶盖不易彻底清洁干净，容易滋生细菌，进而导致宝宝生病。用热肥皂水就能简单地把杯子冲洗干净，无需消毒，而奶瓶最好要消毒。

Cups are safer than bottles. Bottle teats and screw tops trap germs that can get into the milk and make babies ill. Cups are easily cleaned with washing in hot soapy water, and do not need sterilising like bottles.

在紧急情况下，请使用一次性杯子。

In emergencies, use disposable cups.

杯喂和1-2-3一样简单！

CUP FEEDING IS AS EASY AS 1-2-3!

先让宝宝用直立姿势坐在你的膝盖上，使他的背部和颈部得到支撑。给小宝宝们杯喂时，最好用一块布包裹住他们的身体，防止他们的手碰倒杯子。

Sit baby upright on your lap and support their back and neck. With small babies it can help to wrap them with a cloth, to keep their hands from knocking the cup.

拿一小杯奶轻轻地放在宝宝的下唇上，然后微微地倾斜杯子，保持奶只到杯口边缘，刚好够到宝宝的嘴唇。宝宝应该处于警觉状态，张开嘴巴和眼睛。

Hold a small cup of milk to rest the rim lightly on baby’s lower lip. Then tilt the cup, keeping the milk at the rim of the cup, just in reach of baby’s lips. Baby should be alert, and open both their mouth and eyes.

动作要慢慢来。不要把奶倒进婴儿的嘴里。每次都让宝宝做主，按照“舔—咽—停”的节奏。让奶保留在杯口。当宝宝吃饱了，他们会闭上嘴巴，不再喝了。

Go Slow. DO NOT POUR the milk into baby’s mouth. Always let baby lead the pace of sips, swallows and pauses. Still keep the milk just at the cup’s rim. When baby is full, they will close their mouth and will not take anymore.

宝宝会吸吮或啜饮奶，或用舌头舔一舔奶，如右图所示。

Babies will suck or sip the milk, or may use their tongues to lap it up like in this picture on the left.

杯喂可以让宝宝自由地移动舌头，这样就更接近在乳房上吃奶时发生的“吸吮”反射。

Cup feeding gives babies freedom to move their tongue in a way that is closer to the ‘suckle’ reflex used for breastfeeding.
