There are some studies that point to many benefits of the act of breastfeeding itself, but I think from a health/scientific perspective I think it's stretching things to suggest that putting your milk in a bottle and then into your baby's mouth somehow reduces the benefits.
Obtuse bitches that happen to be employed as lactation consultants notwithstanding.
- dgrant 16y agoThe studies I have heard of talk of the benefits of skin-to-skin contact while feeding, which can easily be done with a bottle too. I'm not aware of any studies that point to any benefit of nipple vs. artificial nipple.
- run4yourlives 16y agoThere is the issue of failing to go back to the breast once established on bottle, but like I said, not overly important in the larger picture.
