Dear all:

Here in Manhattan, many parents have bought the so-called GREEN bottles.  I have to say 
that most of these are very rapid flow and babies choke on them.  This include Green to Go, 
Born Free, and Adiri --- which sometimes is too slow and lately too fast. I think I'm 
violating some lactnet principal, in naming names, but I am tired of babies squishing the 
heck out of mom's nipples and getting frustrated because they got used to the rapid flow 
bottles.

Despite my best educational efforts I am seeing more and more clients who are feeding 
their babies four times a day thinking that a baby and milk supply will be just fine only to 
have it all fall apart.  The pediatrician to the stars is becoming more and more extreme 
telling mothers of 6 week olds to shut the door on their babies from 8 pm to 8 am when the 
moment their babies turn 8 weeks old.

I guess there has been a trend towards form over function that is getting to me.  

Best, Susan Burger, MHS, PhD, IBCLC
