What happens when a baby sucks for pleasure on an empty bottle after a meal?
Does he swallow air? If so, does it bother him, besides perhaps causing a
larger burp?
Do any of you use a half-full teat (maybe with holes not even covered) with
babies who need a slower flow? Is the whole "sucking air" thing mythology?
Truth? Truth but it doesn't matter to the baby?
By not covering the holes with milk, do you find that the baby has to suck
to drink, as opposed to swallowing in self-defense?
