  1. Breast milk is best for babies and provides ideal nutrition. Good Maternal nutrition is important for preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. Introducing partial bottle-feeding could negatively affect breastfeeding and reversing a decision not to breastfeed is difficult. Professional advice should be followed on infant feeding. Infant formula should be prepared and used as directed. Unnecessary or improper use of infant formula may present a health hazard. Social and financial implications should be considered when selecting a method of infant feeding.

  4. Infant initiated bottle-emptying reported to be very common (sometimes, most of time, or always applying to almost 100% of infants), and this behaviour is associated with greater weight gain in later infancy.36 • Bottle size has also been associated with infant weight (WLZ), suggesting that bottle feeding behaviours can contribute to over-feeding of infants.37
