complementary bottle is exactly what
Its name implies. 1t is a bottle feed
ing given directly after the insufficient
breast feeding to make up for the
shortage in the breast feeding at any
particular hour. With complementary
feelings the breast receives regular
stimulation at each nursing period. and
this stimulation improves the milk sup
ply. When the alternate breast and
bottle feelings are reSorted to-as in
the case of relief bottles--the breast
eventually dries UP because of the de-
creased stimulation. and there Is no
alternative except TO complete the
weaning process.
