1: Offer the Baby a Bottle Mechanics of Sucking: Difference Between Breast and Bottle
Sucking
• The tongue, jaw and mouth move differently during nursing at the
breast and feeding from the bottle.
• With nursing, the baby's tongue remains forward, over the alveolar
ridge, on the floor of the mouth, cupped around the areola.
• With bottle feeding, the tongue has a back and forth movement.
