Overfeeding baby is very rare, but it can happen. It’s more common in bottle-fed babies, simply because it’s easier for parents to see how much food their child is consuming. It also takes less effort to drink from a bottle, so babies (who love to suck) may inadvertently get too much milk while feeding.

[b]There is an absolute obsession with babies finishing bottles.[/b] Ive seen babies turn away from the bottle and then a caretaker (mostly daycare staff but Ive seen some parents)keep shoving it back in saying You havent finished your bottle yet. Youll see it when moms pump and daycare is obsessed with how many ounces they are taking in. TRUST me he makes it up when they arent there.

With breasts babies can suck but not ingest breastmilk. They still get milk from bottles even if they are suckling- even the infant size nipples.

Yeah, and there's an obsession with shaming women who bottle-feed, especially if it's formula.  [/quote]
