Milk flow is an easily manipulated variable that may contribute to the degree of physiologic instability experienced by infants who are medically fragile during oral feeding. This study provides clinicians with information to guide appropriate selection of bottle nipples for feeding infants who are hospitalized. Feeding can be physiologically challenging for premature and medically fragile infants who are learning to feed orally. Whereas breast-feeding may be the ultimate goal, most infants who are hospitalized will receive some bottle-feedings. Many variables contribute to an infant’s ability to bottle-feed safely and effectively, but one easily manipulated variable is the rate of milk flow from the bottle nipple. Milk flow is defined as the rate of transfer of milk from the bottle into the mouth during sucking. The rate of milk flow can affect an infant’s ability to integrate fluid management with respiration, as well as the degree of ventilatory compromise associated with feeding
