Paced bottle feeding is a method of feeding your baby that closely mimics breastfeeding. This method of feeding, as the name suggests, involves pacing your baby's feedings to allow the baby to have more control of feeding time.
During feedings, babies will eat slowly and work harder to get the milk just like they would when feeding at the breast. This type of bottle feeding is completely opposite to typical baby bottle feeding.
Paced feeding reduces the risk of overfeeding that may result in discomfort to the baby. This feeding method is recommended for any baby that receives bottles, whether fully bottle fed, or alternating between breast and a bottle.
