Summary

This study looked at how babies suck on bottle nipples with different hole sizes. Researchers wanted to see if mothers who lost weight before pregnancy had babies with different sucking patterns. Ten mothers and their infants took part. The goal was to learn more about infant feeding behavior, not to treat any condition.
