Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
These mothers received usual care from their pediatric providers and each mother was given 12 conventional, clear bottles of various sizes (4-12 ounces) that were compatible with a variety of different nipples manufactured by leading bottle companies. Mothers were also given handouts about proper formula preparation and paced bottle-feeding, which included messages about feeding in response to infant cues.
These mothers received everything provided to the clear group, but instead received 12 opaque bottles of various sizes (4-12 ounces). These bottles were stainless steel and compatible with a variety of different nipples manufactured by a leading bottle company. Mothers in the intervention group also received an additional handout that contained safety tips for their opaque bottles (e.g., never microwave your bottle).
