Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Holding the baby close with head slightly elevated during feeding helps prevent aspiration and ensures comfortable feeding. Propping the bottle can lead to choking and ear - infections. Newborns should be fed on demand rather than a strict schedule as their stomachs are small and they need frequent nutrition. Diluting formula can lead to nutrient deficiencies.
# Answer:
"While feeding, hold the baby close with head slightly elevated."
