"I seem to recall someone asking recently about whether or not we have  
evidence about any form of supplemental feeding and its relationship to  
breastfeeding.

I ran across this in the Cochrane Library ...
results: Authors' conclusions
Cup feeding cannot be recommended over  bottle feeding as a supplement  to 
breastfeeding because it confers no  significant benefit in maintaining 
breastfeeding beyond hospital discharge and  carries the
unacceptable consequence of a longer stay in hospital. "
 
Thanks, Molly that was me. I was actually referring to any studies that  
compared paced bottlefeeding, vs standard vs cups or tube devices,  but it  looks 
like this the kind of research available right now. Bottlfeeding seems to  
just be generic bottlefeeding in studies, unless one is reading something  in 
JHL/by an IBCLC or LLLL/trained layperson.  Thanks for sharing. Also I  am 
thinking more about babies who may need this for a while, not just a few  days, but 
weeks if there is an unrecognized or untreated tongue tie keeping a  baby from 
adequately feeding at breast.
 
Peace,
