In this episode, we explore the importance of paced bottle feeding, a baby-led method that mimics breastfeeding rhythms, slows the flow, and helps babies stay in control of their intake. We discuss how conventional bottle feeding can lead to issues like overfeeding, decreased milk supply, and early weaning. We also provide a detailed demonstration of paced bottle feeding techniques, including proper positioning and inviting a baby to latch. Additionally, we address common concerns like nipple flow adjustment, dealing with caregiver resistance, and alternative feeding methods. Perfect for parents, caregivers, and anyone involved in a baby's feeding journey, this episode offers valuable insights on using bottles responsibly to support and protect breastfeeding.
