I agree with this statement.  I think that bottlefeeding has many facets,
such as flow differences, differences in feel, differences in how much baby
can suck as it relates to what comes out...etc..how mother feels when she
bottlefeeds, etc.  This is a subject ripe for research, though hard to
quantify.

I can safely say, though, that many mothers who use frequent bottles
complain of either actual or perceived milk supply issues.
