From Evidence to Empowerment: Supporting Bottle-Feeding Parents with Emerging Science

Most infants will receive a bottle at some point in their first year, whether breastmilk or formula. However, some experts have concerns about the impact of bottle feeding and how it differs from breastfeeding. Some research suggests that bottle feeding may increase the risk of overfeeding and rapid weight gain. Current research explores how new bottle-feeding techniques may help avoid these potential risks.

Join Dr. Alison Ventura, pediatric nutrition researcher, and Jadah Parks Chatterjee, RN, IBCLC, as they highlight existing science around bottle feeding, current best practices, and emerging research around responsive feeding to better support parents and positively impact the health of their infants.
