Study Summary
Current infant feeding recommendations focus on promoting responsive feeding, which is widely recognized as the ideal way to feed infants because it is associated with healthier eating behaviors and growth outcomes for infants. Unfortunately, many bottle-feeding families receive inadequate support for learning responsive bottle-feeding practices because breastfeeding support is prioritized in healthcare settings. Promotion of breastfeeding is an important focus for public health efforts, but a significant proportion of families bottle-feed their infants, either exclusively or in combination with breastfeeding. Thus, bottle-feeding remains a ubiquitous part of infant feeding and evidence-based strategies are needed to support bottle-feeding families. One promising strategy is the Paced Bottle-Feeding (PBF) method, which incorporates many ideas and feeding practices consistent with the concept of responsive feeding. This approach to bottle-feeding aims to mimic the aspects of breastfeeding that promote balanced control between caregiver and infant and allow the infant to set the pace of the feeding in response to feelings of hunger and fullness. Although PBF is sometimes taught in perinatal education settings, teaching new parents about PBF is not an evidence-based practice because there have been no empirical studies evaluating the effectiveness of PBF for promoting responsive feeding for parents and healthy intake and weight outcomes for infants. Thus, despite the conceptual promise of PBF for promoting responsive bottle-feeding interactions, research is needed to determine whether PBF is effective and identify whether any limitations of this method exist. This study is a within-subject, experimental study wherein mother-infant dyads will be observed during breastfeeding and typical bottle-feeding interactions. Mothers will then be taught the PBF method and observed during a PBF interaction. This design will allow for direct testing of the purported benefits of PBF
