Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the flow rates of different thicknesses of baby formula through various types of bottle nipples.
- The experimental design involved testing multiple nipple types (like UltraPreemie and Level 4) with thin to mildly thick formulas in a laboratory setting.
- Results showed that thicker formulas decreased flow rates and increased variability, which is crucial for clinicians to consider when selecting nipples for infants learning to feed.
