Bottle-feeding success isn’t measured only by how much your baby drinks — it is also about rhythm, comfort, and cues. A baby who feeds calmly, takes breaks, and appears content afterward is usually feeding well. Consistent wet diapers, steady weight gain, and alertness are also reassuring signs.

If your baby swallows rapidly or seems stressed, the flow may be too fast. A slow-flow teat allows your baby to control their pace and reduces gulping or discomfort.

🌿 Alma’s tips 

• Use a slow-flow teat.

• Hold the bottle more horizontally to allow your baby to pace themselves.

• Watch your baby’s behaviour, not just the bottle amount.
