A breastfed baby should be paced fed with the bottle so that the baby doesn't develop a "flow preference" and then begin to reject the breast. This video shows exactly how to pace bottle feed an infant in real-time.
It works well even with babies who are exclusively bottle-feed. I found that the babies I use this method for at my daycare, are less likely to spit up
Due to multiple circumstances beyond our control, my five week old son is exclusively bottle fed. He was spitting up a ton and having coughing fits, often more than one in a feeding! I tried a slower flow nipple which helped but didn’t eliminate the problem. Since starting paces feeding, he spits up so much less and only has issues swallowing if I stop paying attention! Thank you so much for this video. You’ve made my first-time-mom life a little easier :)
Figures, as soon as I get rid of all my narrow bottles and purchase a whole bunch of wide mouth bottles I find a video that says my narrow bottles were better. 😂😂
Honestly I personally see the “anti colic” inserts a complete ripoff, as a newborn I babysat we ALWAYS used the anti-colic bottles paired with anti-colic/ sensitive similac formula (at the time) and no matter what she spit up and projectile vomited all the time and cried all the time
I never knew babies could go on a nursing strike until I did this with an exclusively bottlefed baby. I pace bottlefed her and she’s hated it 😂 (she was a gobbler too), and she would refuse the bottle until I started to give it to her and have the bottle held so it was a fast flow😅😂
Great information ! I was so confused as to if I could use the tall nipple vs the wide one to include in my breast feeding so daddy can be apart of feeding time. Now I feel comfortable using both not worrying if once my baby gets the feel of the tall nipple she will reject my breast ... thank you so much !!!
Did not work for us.. we realised with half full nipple baby ends up gulping only more air which causes more gas in stomach and ends up crying and fussing more.. did this change and had 2 sleepless nights.. next day came back to normal and 🤞🤞🤞all ok..
You need to burp them more frequently then.. this of course takes more time and effort however it will help them to feed better long term and build coordination for language skills as well.
i dont understand how you are allowing the baby to suck air... that defeats the purpose of using the dr brown bottle and it makes my baby's gass worse...???
@@stacykucharczk1975 I don't understand how that's possible. Not saying I don't believe, I just can't comprehend how literally sucking air will produce less air in her tummy.
@@moneymagnet7345 you miss the point🧐 ... The question isn't what to do after the air has been introduced... it's how to prevent excess air from entering in the first place...
@@mckaylawalker1796 Agreed. My eyebrows raised when I saw that outdated shite. Haha someone needs to get dumped before the kids get influenced by machisimo brain drain nonsense🙄
Thankyou so much for this video. I am going to try this method. I have a 5 week old son, for first 2 weeks, I tried breastfeeding him but HATED every second of it, the idea of BF made me nauseous, upset and angry, so switched to formula and bottles. I hold him in my arms and try to feed him, but he screams and refuses it. He is crying and screaming all day, rooting into thin air, eating his fist, but when he is offered a warm bottle, he refuses it. Tough shit, must be sooo difficult being a baby, sleeping and pooping all day 💩😂 I will not give into his demands, he will take it when he is hungry enough. I try difficult tips as well, nothing changes and keep offering it all day. When the tip touches his lip, he roots and attacks it, but 2 seconds later he spits it out... (at first I tried expressed milk, he still refused, so he clearly hates the bottle)
You probably only formula feeding then. This is really good for babies that exclusively breastfeed and some how the mother has to give a bottle. If I only knew that when I was trying to heal my broken nipples and had to bottle feed. Baby wouldn’t take my boob again. Lucky she did after trying this. But I should say don’t pull the bottle out, just paced.
I'm guessing no, because there is no air intake through the bottle. On the other hand, when baby gulps, they have to pause to breathe, and swallow more air in the process.
Prevents over feeding 👍 but a newborn I babysat was a bottomless pit. She could just eat and eat and eat. Now she’s 2 years old and will eat anything that’s food
My daughter is exclusively breastfed but I’ve had to start top ups for weight gain. If I try pace feeding, she throws a fit! I’ll lower the bottle or take it out so she can rest but she will just scream 🤷🏼♀️ she’ll just suck on air if lowered too
@@verlonbaker5074 I stopped bottle feeding and moved exclusively to breast. But I found that the very small amount of air taken in during paced bottle feeding, gave no more gas than when feeding from the breast. It works really well and is probably the reason why I managed to move back to exclusively breastfeeding. When her dad gave her a couple of bottles and didn’t pace feed, she guzzled a few 0z in minutes, which wasn’t ideal
What about all the air the baby is sucking in ? He is might have cramps or whatever you call those things. The baby will be full of air and I think is very uncomfortable for the baby and he will cry.
My baby screams bloody murder when I lower the bottle to force her to slow down 😩 I don’t know what to do..she wants my breasts to flow quickly like a bottle
I just saw this video because I made the mistake of feeding incorrectly and now my 2.5 month son is rejecting the breast :-( how can I get him back to latch and continue nursing? I would be devastated if our breastfeeding journey ends
nicole taufiq get him to latch for comfort, after he's already fed, relaxed and happy. I did this after my baby rejected breast and got him to finally latch after a week of this! Read abt it on kellymom. Also bottle feed as directed in the video bc it'll help him properly suckle at the breast when he's ready to take it again. Mine will latch but very loosely so he's unable to get a good seal and gulps a lot of air in bc my nipple will slip out, and he had a perfect latch when he was just born. With a little patience u can do it! Good luck hun!
Stupid video! Disagreed wt this kind of bottle feeding! Too much air in babies stomach! Babies can get colic! Feed the baby as usual then stop for a while,then feed again. This is my way. N thank god my 2 kids never get colic.
A baby isn't gassy because of how he's fed in this video. A baby is gassy because of what and how much he eats. Especially the "what" part. And of course because his tummy is still learning how to work properly.
It only worked for us until 2nd month. Then baby developed and knew how much it wanted and if you manipulate bottle to much it won't eat. This advice is actually hurting more not telling parents that they can't control how much baby eats after about 7th week earliest it could happen. You will see one day baby refuse feeds and you will be puzzled why. Paced feeding encouraged conflicted feeding behavior , when naby takes few sips and pulls away from bottle. It's eats less and snack feeding so you basically have to feed baby every 2hours or so even when he is 4months , praying he will eat enough to keep his weight grow steady. I stopped believing videos like this and actually all videos on YT. Start reading Rowena Bennett. It resolved most of our troubles.
+Sarah Barbie this way actually works as an anticolic as the baby will have the ability to breathe freely.When there is nothing in the oral cavity, therefore uvula doesn't need to make jumpy movements between the two tubes (oesophagus and trachea) thus helping baby not to swallow air :)
I had the same initial reaction. But my son in law tried it and assured me the baby was not more gasy or spitty than usual. I fared to try and was amazed. It really made for calmer and longer feeding, and happier baby. She stopped sucking after few pulls of air but did not get upset, as the bottle nipple was still in her mouth. She burped easily at the end, without much tapping. And she was satisfied after 20 min. Fifth faster feeding she keeps rooting , acting hungry and munching on pacifier. The brain needs about 20 min to recognize that fullness of the stomach. Give it a try, you will not regret. Just keep your baby upright or on their belly at 45 degrees or so for about 20-30min after feeding
I absolutely hate it when people refer to the baby as just baby . Baby says this and baby says that and baby is hungry wtf it's so annoying . Either use its name or say the baby for fuck sake
Don't try this at home. Unless you want to fill your baby's stomach with air and make him cry for endless days and nights. 'the air won't hurt him'. Yeah right.
It doesn't hurt at all, actually. When you eat and drink, does your stomach fill with air? No, not at all unless you're eating too fast. 😂 What does hurt is your baby chugging down milk, over eating and then the baby's body can't digest food fast enough so it leads to reflux, gassiness, and episodes of colic. I've been pace feeding my 7 week old son because he was having terrible tummy issues and spit ups, and he's eating so much better and safer now. Also, that's what burping can help with if you're baby is struggling to burp.
its so cruel. its just a passive feeding, the baby cant control anything. With breastfeeding babys can control every suck and flow rates etc. its an active feeding controled by the baby. Bottles are a cruel instrument who lead to several health problems as mouth breathiness. or middle ear infection, the children learn to swallow incorrectly because the tongue position is incorrect. When breastfeeding, the tongue lies outside the mouth. The tip of the tongue belongs at the top of the hard palate, the bottleteat presses the tongue backwards and downwards. The ear trumpet can no longer be ventilated due to this incorrect swallowing process, and babies often develop middle ear infections
Just been a dad for almost 2 weeks and my daughter was choking on milk so much and found this channel. Thanks 😊 very informative

So what’s the point of using a anti colic Dr Browns bottle if you’re just going to lean the bottle back and introduce air to the feeding?
Honestly I personally see the “anti colic” inserts a complete ripoff, as a newborn I babysat we ALWAYS used the anti-colic bottles paired with anti-colic/ sensitive similac formula (at the time) and no matter what she spit up and projectile vomited all the time and cried all the time
Which bottle is this ?

That is a common misconception--baby will actually get more air gulping without the bottle being fed in a paced manner

Seems to be taking in a lot of air!
Yea sure, “drop the bottle to stop the flow”. Funny. I do that to my daughter when she is hungry at 3am and I’ll probably get punched in the face.
Damn right. 😂

Wouldn't this cause more gas?

I still feel like if your letting them try and suck on a empty nipple ... there will be air?
great info 😍💯

Hi-you should schedule an appointment with an IBCLC to determine why you little one needs “top offs” in order to gain weight.
Logan I’ve already met with an LC and it was determined that she has a shallow latch and not sufficiently removing milk, causing my supply to drop
I think just letting the baby gulp on air is crazy

What if baby does not stop feeding when the nipple is empty -- will baby get too much air? My little one never (ever!) stops sucking.
Trying this for my baby in the NICU
She said “a little air won’t hurt him”
have you ever dealt with a gassy baby?!

Por que não amamentar?
The nipple should always be filled with milk. Let the baby suck for 2 minutes and burp. That way air doesn't build up in the abdomen.
olebaba 😘😍😘😍😘
I always heard to use a wide neck bottle for breastfed babies, so the narrow neck nipples are what's recommended now?

No-babies actually suck in more air if they are gulping a feed quickly

No

Fussy,wants to eat too much
That makes no sense.
Yeah no thanks, I prefer my baby to not be full of wind.
Exactly my thought
Actually, babies receive more air when they are gulping their bottles. Holding the bottle in this manner does not cause extra “wind”
