Usage Instructions
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) Monitor cues from the baby to determine if the flow setting should
be adjusted to a faster or slower flow.
3) 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. (Fig. 6)
b) Helpful Hint - An overhand position is
suggested for holding the Baby Feeder as it
allows the user maximum control when
adjusting flow levels. (Fig. 7)
4) 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.
5) Once the baby reaches flow level 5 they
are feeding at or near a flow rate of a
stage 1 nipple.
