          • Facial features — jaw, cheeks, chin, nose, and eyes — begin to develop.
          • Your baby's heart is beating about 80 times per minute and gets faster each day.

          • Eating small meals or snacks frequently throughout the day
          • Limiting or avoiding greasy, spicy, or fried foods
          • Drinking fluids to stay hydrated, especially if you are vomiting
          • Keep snacks by the bed to avoid getting up on an empty stomach

          It also might help to:

          • Avoid those odors in your daily routine that make you queasy.
          • Get enough sleep and rest.

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
