Paced Feeding Tips- How To Bottle Feed Your Breastfed Baby

Paced Bottle Feeding

Becca from My Pure Delivery demonstrates how to use the paced bottle feeding technique to make the bottle feeding experience more similar to how your baby would breastfeed. With paced feeding, babies are more able to control the milk flow, which prevents upset tummies from overeating and helps to avoid bottle flow preference and breast refusal (commonly referred to as “nipple confusion”). Paced bottle feeding supports a healthy feeding relationship by adequately stimulating your baby’s oral muscles, engaging their reflexes, and allowing them to take breaks when needed.

Are you concerned about your baby getting enough to eat? Book a consult with one of our lactation consultants (IBCLCs) today and we can see how well your baby is feeding, evaluate your milk supply and make a plan tailored to you and your baby’s needs.
