Bottle feeding isnât the problem đ€
But the type of bottle youâre using can make a bigger difference than most people realize.
Flow rate, ni**le shape, and how a baby has to work to get milk all impact coordination, comfort, and regulation during a feed.
When something feels offâclicking, leaking, gulping, extra fussinessâitâs not a failure. Itâs often just a mismatch.
The goal isnât just to get milk in.
Itâs to support a feeding experience that feels calm, coordinated, and sustainable for both baby and parent.
And sometimes, a small change makes a big difference. If youâre unsure if youâre using the right bottle, or if the bottle youâre using is supporting babyâs latch â schedule a visit with Christy, our IBCLC!
