A. Select a slow flow nipple that will require the baby to use some effort to get the milk from the bottle.Place the baby in an almost upright position. Hold the bottle in a horizontal position just filling the nipple with breastmilk. By holding the bottle horizontally, gravity does not play a role in the milk flow.Encourage your baby to open wide and seek the bottle by brushing his lips with the nipple. When the baby opens his mouth wide like a yawn, place the entire nipple into the baby's mouth so that his lips rest gently on the nipple base. Do not allow him to take only the tip of the nipple into his mouth. (may result in sore nipples for mom when nursing)When the baby starts sucking, tip the bottle up just enough so there is no air in the nipple and milk covers the nipple hole. Allow the baby to pace the feed comfortably. Watch the baby's cues for a comfortable versus a stressful feed. If she is gulping milk with wide-open eyes and splayed fingers, the milk may be flowing too quickly. Lower the end of the bottle while it is still in the baby's mouth to slow the milk flow. The baby should be using jaw-dropping sucks, similar to breastfeeding and should not have milk leaking from his lips. Stress cues include: worried brow, gulping, gasping, panting, pushing bottle, or looking away.
