If these preterm babies can't cope with the oversupply of the breast or the
relatively fast flow of the bottle teat, wouldn't cup feeding return control
to the baby, who laps the milk at it's own rate, whilst coordinating it's
breathing?
Dear Friends:
    That is exactly one of the published benefits of cup feeding. However,
there is a method of paced bottle feeding, used by occupational therapists and
speech/language specialists for years is a way to slow flow and give baby time
to regulate suck/swallow/breathe.
