Bottle-Feeding as a Tool to Reinforce Breastfeeding

Dee Kassing, BS, MLS, IBCLC

Breastfeeding Support Services Inc.; Dee Kassing, 302 Chesapeake Lane, Collinsville, IL 62234, USA

Babies may need supplementation due to difficulty breastfeeding. Others must be fed by alternative feedingmethods because they are separated from mothers who have returned to employment or school. Recognizing that mothers and caregivers are often not comfortable using other alternative feedingde vices, the author endeavored to develop a method of bottle-feeding that would meet the needs of these mothers and their babies without causingsuck confusion. The resultingbottle-feedingmethod requires babies to expend effort and use their oral anatomy in ways very similar to breastfeeding.

Key Words: breastfeeding • bottle-feeding • alternative feeding devices • dysfunctional suck • supplementation
