We  recently discussed this article in class.  It is an evidence based  
study that shows that bottle-fed babies were fussier at the breast during  
transition.  I hope it helps.

Jen,
 
Thanks for sending this study. Am I reading this correctly that these  
babies were supplemented for the study, not because they were having feeding  
difficulties and couldn't breastfeed fully and needed supplementation? I agree 
 that wouldn't necessarily be that helpful in promoting one assistive 
feeding  method over another with babies actually having feeding issues which 
require  supplementation devices. Of course I could be wrong since all I see is 
the  abstract. Is there more to this?
 
Peace,
Judy
