4) A growth retardation can make necessarya the introduction of artificial milk additives that undermine the increase in breast milk production (see lactation physiology)
5) Both the difficulty in sucking ineffective, is the use of milk additions with the baby bottle, bring the child not to engage in active, nutritive sucking breast.
6) The child will get usedor rather will be obliged, to feed through a 'passive' suction to the bottle.
