Bottle Feeding

Paced bottle feeding is a commonly recommended technique used to bottle feed the breastfed baby.  It allows bottle feeding to more closely resemble breastfeeding and helps to preserve the baby’s willingness to feed at the breast.  It also allows the baby to rest and eat at a more comfortable pace.
