Our daughter was born with complications that made it hard for her to drink out of a bottle. Due to respiratory problems, she would get tired in the middle of her bottle feeding and then wouldn't be able to finish the rest. She was barely taking 10-20mlsper feeding and was in danger of having the feeding tube put back in. That was when Mary came in. She showed us a newer method of bottle feeding. This method not only allowed her to finish her bottle and keep her off the feeding tube, but it also taught her how to pace herself. Now she paces herself without the special method and she's taking 2-3 oz. per feeding, Mary is our hero!
