Appetite self-regulation in infancy - The role of direct breastfeeding - Shrivastava and Jain, 2023
A
- Advantage of BF is its role in self-regulation of an infants appetite

○ Encourages infant to gain control avoiding overconsumption - bottle fed infants (whether mother’s milk or formula milk) are subjected to mother’s or other caregivers encouragement of bottle emptying
○ Prevents development of their own appetite responsiveness independently - directly breast-fed infants do not consume extra milk once their appetite stimulation phase ends
- the teaching of bottle emptying during early infancy is positively associated with the weight gain.
