While assessing the feeding of infants who are hospitalized, our team has also identified a demand for more suitable bottle nipples. A recent study (below) compared the flow rate of commercially available bottle nipples supplied in neonatal intensive care units (Pados et al, 2016).
The results range from 2.10-85.34 mL/min, with the majority of nipples providing an average flow rate of 10 mL/min (Pados et al, 2016). The un-naturally fast flow rate of bottle nipples is a concern in the NICU due to the risk of aspiration and, after discharge, can also present a barrier to breastfeeding. The variability of bottle nipples can be a huge barrier to infants latching as most bottle flow rates are constant, and less dynamic than the breast. Because infants admitted to the NICU are often primarily introduced to a bottle nipple, designing a bottle nipple that reflects lactating mothers’ flow rates is imperative in preventing future barriers to breastfeeding.
