Sidelying Paced Bottle Feeding

I often share about the importance of paced bottle feeding, especially when the goal is to have the baby easily go between breast and bottle. The idea is to slow down the flow of milk, and allow baby to control the feed, as they would at breast. Encourage them to latch in the same way, reward with milk when they "work" for it, tilt back and allow breaks, and generally follow their cues! Paced bottle feeding can be done with baby sitting upright, and also in a side-lying position as shown in the image here. Give it a try and see what your baby likes best!
