Norma, unfortunately most of the bottle-feeding videos, including the one I previously mentioned, have a number of flaws. Not one that I have seen actually discusses all of the WHO guidelines for preparing powdered formula safely and correctly. Few if any show proper positioning and mention that infants should not be forced to finish every bottle. There are no guidelines that I have seen to help parents differentiate between artificial nipples. I have used a handout that I created myself when my previous employer asked that I put something together for their bottle-feeding patients.
