- I doubt it. There have been enough anguished pleas on the net from
- people who introduced practice bottles and could happily give 4-6
- ounces in a bottle each day, and who didn't have nipple confusion
- or supply problems, but who discovered the little one wouldn't take
- more than that 4-6 ounces, or wouldn't take from the caregiver, or
- wouldn't take formula rather the breastmilk they had been taking,
- to convince me that practice bottles don't do much good.
-
- There have also been planty of anguished postings from people who are
- experiencing "involuntary weaning" thanks to practice bottles. I
- really don't recommend them. That's not to say that some people won't
- get away with them; lots will. It's just that it won't particularly
- help anything anyway, so why risk it?
