Catherine's post about bottle nipples points to the fact that we need to
learn about what is available and how differennt bottles/nipples work. The
workshop that Glass and Wolf does on feeding and swallowing disorders in the
infant goes into some of the parameters for choosing the appropriate nipple
for various infant problems. My engineer husband has explained the
differences in some of the feeding systems to me Dr. Brown's, Platex with
bags, Avent. We should be more knowledgable about this and also, know what
is currently on the market. I didn't know that the Evenflow Ultra was not
being made. I have been recommending them for certain situations. depending
on the infant's oral anatomy, individual sucking disorder etc different
nipples/bottles would be appropriate. Ofcourse, the goal is working towards
getting the baby to the breast. Occupational therapists who special in
infant feeding problems would be a great resource for this. Ann Anderson,
