This is not an older child, he is only 2 months old.  Where are the
cardiologist's references that it is less stressful for the baby to bottle
feed, huh?  There is no evidence the baby will be less short of breath on
the bottle, but he would be definitely short of breast.

As for fortifier, if it were really necessary, it can be given by nursing
supplementer, couldn't it.  Babies respond to flow, and if they get good
flow, they do not work hard at the breast.
