Paced bottle feeding for the breast fed baby

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Elevated side lying is a bottle-feeding position that's being used more and more for preterm babies and infants who have feeding difficulties. In this blog post I'll tell you why I like it for all new born babies. I've put together a visual step by step guide for you so go ahead and give it a try...

This position is a natural and physiologically normal feeding position just like how a baby feeds at the breast. It means the baby doesn't have to do any work at all to support its body while it feeds which makes for an easier and more relaxed feed for both the baby and you.

Baby is positioned on a cushion which means that you don't have to take the baby's weight on your arms which is more comfortable especially as your baby grows.

You have a hand free if you need it to read to a toddler or have a drink while you're feeding your baby.

If the flow of milk is too fast - which it often can be at the start while your baby is mastering its suck swallow and breathe co-ordination - this position allows the milk to safely dribble out of your babies mouth instead of coughing or choking.

You are able to clearly see your baby's face and watch for signs that she may need a pause or a break for winding.

This is a great position for babies who have reflux or who are prone to vomiting. If you place the baby on its left side to feed it increases the space from the bottom of its stomach to the oesophagus making it less likely for them to vomit or reflux.

Please note this feeding position is recommended for formula fed babies. For breastfed babies who also take the bottle then I would recommend using the paced bottle feeding technique.

Step by step guide to elevated side lying bottle feeding

Sit comfortably on the sofa and place your feet on a footstool. This plastic childrens' one from ikea does the trick. Your legs should be sloping from the knees to your hips

Place your baby on its side with her bottom against your tummy. Her legs should be out in front of her. If you're right handed then baby on her left side and visa versa

Your baby will bring her hands together on her chest in a flexed position. Offer the bottle, wait for her to open her mouth and place inside. Note how relaxed and content your baby looks

I had my baby boy Jaxson in April 2020 and he was born with a tongue tie which meant he wasn't able to latch comfortably when breast feeding. I could tell this was the issue from day one as his older brother was also born with one and we had the same feeding issue.

Due to the covid19 circumstances I wasn't able to get the tie cut with Jaxson as quickly as I did my 2 year old. So for 4 months I expressed every feed and bottle fed him. His tie was cut privately at 10 weeks old and I chose to continue to bottle feed.

Jaxson was a very windy baby and in the early days he really struggled to feed comfortably, he had lots of trapped wind which would not come up easily. He would cry in pain after most feeds which was very upsetting for both of us. I tried everything I could buy from the pharmacy as us mums do and also turned to social media where I found @feedeatspeak. I was scrolling though Stacey's feed and saw posts of the elevated side lying position. I immediately tried this with Jaxson who at the time was around 4 weeks old and he was a changed baby! He was able to bring up wind much easier and seemed so much more content. He actually started enjoying his feeds and upped the amount he was having quite soon after. I was one very happy Mama with a much happier baby!

So thanks to Stacey and her wonderful page, Jaxson now at 6 months old is still feeding is this position and he is one happy thriving baby!

I am so grateful for Stacey sharing this advice and information especially during lockdown as us new mums didn't really have anywhere to turn. So thank you so much for helping my baby!

I tell all my mummy friends about this feeding position and Stacey's page hoping to help their babies who struggle with bottle feeding. It really made a huge difference with Jaxson!

How to clean an at-breast supplementer

The Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) can be cleaned quickly and easily and it can be boiled or sterilized usually once a day. Other devices are cleaned by syringe and hot (soapy) water and rinsed, some cannot be sterilized.

How do you clean the Supplemental Nursing System?

If your baby was born around the due date, is healthy and older than two weeks, you can very easily clean the SNS. You need very little time for this:

Place the SNS in the sink and pour in water that is nearly boiling.

Screw on the top again, hold the SNS upside down, shake it lightly and let some hot water run through the tubes.

Empty the remainder and repeat.

In this way, the SNS is clean. Place the SNS and the attachment ring on a clean kitchen towel. It is ready for the next feed. You see this quick cleaning method in the following video:
