Dear Bethany, I have seen some babies settle and contentedly nurse if given 1 0z. per bottle before the breast...........it seems they are calmer with a little something in their tummies and don't think they are starving anymore. Breastfeeding is more than food so I hope this mom will continue lots of skin to skin time with her child.
