The overall goal of this project is to identify strategies to prevent overfeeding during
infancy. One objective is to evaluate the impact on intake of allowing the infant greater
control over the amount consumed when feeding from a bottle. This will be accomplished via
the use of a novel nipple that mimics (functionally) the nipple of a human breast and allows
the infant to self-regulate milk flow. The second objective is to evaluate the relationship
between parental feeding styles and infant intake.
