Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the proposed research is to conduct a within-subject, experimental study that will describe mothers' feeding practices during typical bottle-feeding conditions and will examine whether removal of visual cues related to the amount of milk/formula in the bottle will alter these feeding practices. The investigators hypothesize that mothers will show higher levels of infant-directed feeding practices and lower levels of mother-directed feeding practices when using opaque, weighted bottles compared to when using standard, clear bottles. The investigators also hypothesize that infants will consume less breast milk or formula when fed from opaque, weighted bottles compared to when fed from standard, clear bottles.

Clear versus Opaque Bottle

This is a within-subject study; all infants will be exposed to both conditions. Order of presentation will be counterbalanced across infants.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Bottle Type

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Infants will be fed from a conventional, clear bottle during one feeding and from an opaque, weighted bottle from another feeding
