Hey. Im 17 and tonight im babysitting a 3 month old little boy. Any tips on how to make it easier for the both of us? The youngest ive babysat was 4 months old. But with that baby, the parents wanted me to microwave the bottle.
So how to heat it up the right way?
please

best way,if ur not sure and want to sound really good is basically to ask what the BABY likes,bcoz that is the person who is basically MOST important.
so ask,how does she eat(i.e cradled in someone's arms,or a little baby carrier? )
also ask how does she/he like to sleep (pillow or not?cot or adult bed with her parents later joining in?or maybe in ur arms?on the back or belly?)
i know many ppl say its dangerous to let a baby that age to sleep on the belly but me,my sister,and my brother all slept like that since birth.And at 6months,we went to our own cots.
basic,
if u ask these questions it will show ur concerned of the wellbeing of the baby :)

Either use a bottle warmer if they have one or stand the bottle in a jug of hot water until it is right.
o my I would be scared to leave my 3 month old with you. But thats just the way i am.
You should just worm up the bottle in really hot watter.
Oh and please put the baby to sleep with her face facing up. That is so important. and make sure she is not to hot while sleeping. Just to prevent sids. google how to prevent SIDS.
