Does paced bottle-feeding improve the quality and outcome of bottle-feeding interactions?
Paced bottle-feeding effectively slowed feeding rates and extended meal durations. Paced bottle-feeding was also associated with greater maternal sensitivity to infant cues compared to typical bottle-feeding when infants had lower clarity of cues. These findings provide preliminary evidence of the potential for paced bottle-feeding to promote responsive feeding.
