#34: Is it possible you’ve been bottle-feeding your baby wrong all this time? In today’s episode Amy Peterson, IBCLC is here to teach about paced bottle feeding, a baby-led technique. Amy shares how baby-led bottle feeding works, how to recognize your baby’s feeding cues and simple ways to teach other caregivers this important skill so you’re all on board with your baby leading the way. If you’re offering bottles - or plan to - this conversation will help you feel confident in letting your baby lead the way.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. How simply changing the position of your baby in your arms and the bottle in your hands can more closely emulate the breastfeeding experience
2. What to look for as far as hunger and fullness cues go so you don’t accidentally promote overfeeding if you’re using a bottle
3. Why offering a bottle with a nipple full of milk can overwhelm (...and overfeed) your baby and how to do paced and baby-led bottle feeding.
