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
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.
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😅😂
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.
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 :)
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)
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.
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
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 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
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
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.
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
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.
