Flow Rates from Bottle Nipples: What We Know and Why It Matters
Flow rate is one of the most important factors that determines whether a baby feeds safely from a bottle. Flow rates vary widely from one product to another and product labels often do not accurately reflect the flow rates of the product. In this talk, I will review what we know about flow rates from bottle nipples, including some important recent changes in products, and why this matters for feeding babies safely.
