Bottles and Nipples, Oh My! With Brittany Pados From Infant Feeding Labs

Many parents who are bottle feeding are just expected to know everything and need less assistance. Bottle feeding is viewed as something as simple as shoving that feeding bottle into your baby's mouth, and that's it. However, Brittany Pados claims otherwise and explains why in this episode.     Brittany Pados is a neonatal nurse practitioner and a certified lactation counselor. She has a Ph.D. in nursing focused on infant feeding and does research on the flow rates of bottle nipples. Today, she will clear up any misconception about infant feeding using bottle nipples.    Shelly and Brittany will tackle how labeling on bottles needs to be backed up with more research and are mostly marketing strategies only. Also, they give tips and knowledge on how you can choose the right bottle for your baby to avoid any adjacent problems in the future.   Brittany also shares how she conducts her experiments and what motivates her to keep doing research about the flow rates of bottle nipples. She shares her expertise on signs to look out for to know when your baby is struggling to take the bottle and what you can do about it.   Join this educational episode, take notes, and connect with Brittany and Shelly for any questions.     Connect with Brittany: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infantfeedingcare/ https://www.instagram.com/infantfeedinglabs/ Website: https://infantfeedinglabs.com/   Study https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-06-links-lactobacillus-crispatus-bacterium-preterm.html   Connect with Shelly: Website: www.shellytaftibclc.com    Instagram:@shellytaftibclc
