Rachel asks for videos of bottle-feeding, and Anne responds with 
links to written info from reputable sources.  Here is another link 
to some interesting info written in a baby-friendly way I found a year ago:

 From Preventing Childhood Obesity in Early Care and Education Programs pp33-34
<http://nrckids.org/CFOC3/PDFVersion/preventing_obesity.pdf>http://nrckids.org/CFOC3/PDFVersion/preventing_obesity.pdf
(accessed 8 Jan 2011)

In a related matter, I have a question too.  There's a lot of caution 
expressed in the international literature about the dangers of 
bottles themselves, eg bacterial contamination, difficulty in 
cleaning etc. and this forms the basis of recommendations for 
cup-feeding of infants who will not be breastfed.  However, I've not 
seen anything written about the emotional/developmental risks to 
young babies of no sucking - it's almost as if this aspect of 
recommendations for replacement feeding (eg in the context of HIV) 
has not been factored into the equation at all when recommendations 
to suspend/abandon breastfeeding are made.   I have concerns about 
non-breastfed babies who will be completely deprived of sucking.  Can 
anyone point me to any articles, research, comments about the 
importance of sucking for young babies, or the risks of exclusive 
cup-feeding (ie the risks of _not_ bottle-feeding for a non-breastfed 
baby) on the baby's developmental/emotional development?

Thanks if anyone can help.
