Paced Bottle Feeding @ 7 Months?

GerardSyreeta · October 2014

Hello Everyone,

We are looking for another babysitter and I was just wondering if I need to go over paced bottle feeding with her? Or is breastfeeding pretty much established enough at this age? Thanks!

In my experience, DS was holding his bottle at that time, so we did not pace him and he did just fine going back and forth between bottle and breast. We still used level 1 nipples.

We've never done it and my baby goes easily from breast to bottle since day 1

This. We actually never "graduated" to faster-flow nipples, but around 6 or 7m, she really wanted to hold her bottles.

Thanks all. He has been holding his bottle since 4m so maybe it's not an issue and I'm just overthinking.

We are still at level 1 as well.

Oh, also just remembered - one thing I asked our babysitter once DD was old enough to hold her own bottle was, if she finished it quickly and seemed to want more, please wait 5-10 minutes to see if she's actually hungry. That way, even if the feeding itself wasn't paced, we gave her a little time for her tummy to catch up with her brain before giving her more than usual. Hope that helps!
