I came across this article's abstract.  Has anyone read the full article
about how it was done?

  Abstract  Forty normal one-month-old infants were randomly assigned to a
breast-like nipple (Healthflow) bottlefeeding or a standard nipple (Evenflo)
bottlefeeding group for one 20-minute feeding by the infants' mothers. The
data suggested that the mothers' bottlefeeding behaviors did not differ, but
the infants who fed on the breast-like nipples spent less time asleep, more
time awake and active and less time fussing and crying. In addition, the
vagal tone of that group decreased more during bottlefeeding and increased
more after the feeding, suggesting that the breast-like nipple
bottlefeedings were more similar to breastfeedings (vagal tone being lower
during breastfeeding and higher after breastfeeding versus bottlefeeding).
Because many women who breastfeed return to work, bottlefeeding that more
closely approximate breastfeedings may ease this transition and may provide
more effective supplemental feedings for the breastfed infants.»


Thanks in advance!
