Just a thought here on the breastflow bottle.  How does this bottle
relate to Geddes' ultrasound research on suction pressures, etc and the
way efficient breastfeeding really works?  Are you using it as a
"training" tool, or just a way to get a baby fed?  Has anyone used the
Special Needs feeder as a training/supplementing tool and what are your
experiences?

Hi Jaye -
Am using this bottle increasingly with same results you are finding.
Baby must latch on as at breast (not nibble on end) in order to "milk"
the bottle.  Nothing is a breast of course, but this bottle can buy time
till problem at breast resolved.  Am careful to follow up with those
parents who plan to try it as a few babes cannot get the milk out. Don't
know if parent error or what.  Certainly not good bottle for sga or
near-term births, my experience.
Cheers,
Joanna Koch IBCLC
