This is because breastfed babies are used to working for the milk during breastfeeding since it is harder for the baby to suck out milk from a breast than a bottle. The flow rate must reflect the flow from the breast. If it is too easy for the baby, he or she might start to get lazy or even refuse the breast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should take approx. 15-20 minutes to finish a bottle.
