USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
FLOW LEVEL DESCRIPTIONS
Controlled Flow® Baby Feeder
0. Zero Flow - Non-nutritive sucking
1. Taste
2. Slow Drip
3. Trickle
4. Steady Flow
5. Stage 1 Nipple
1. You may begin using the Controlled Flow Baby Feeder on setting 0
(non-nutritive sucking) in place of a pacifier to familiarize the baby to
the nipple and trigger positive visual stimulation from the bottle,
as well as to begin to pace the baby.
a. If the baby is more advanced in their feeding abilities, begin on
setting 0 to allow the baby to calm and organize itself for feeding.
Once non-nutritive sucking has been established, select appropriate
flow setting and begin feeding.
2. To change flow settings simply apply force on the thumb pad and push
laterally. The Controlled Flow Baby Feeder allows the user to adjust flow
rates without removing the nipple from the baby's mouth.
a. Helpful Hint - Push laterally to adjust flow rates. Applying downward
force makes adjustment more difficult.
b. Helpful Hint - An overhand position is suggested for holding the Baby
Feeder as it allows the user maximum control when adjusting flow levels.
3. As the baby progresses in their feeding abilities, a faster flow setting may
be utilized. This device is designed to gradually increase the amount of
nutrition received through oral feedings.
a. Monitor cues from the baby to determine if the flow setting should
be adjusted to a faster or slower flow.
4. Once the baby reaches flow level 5 they are feeding at or near a flow
rate of a stage 1 nipple.
