Does the rigidity of the nipple with the center channel cause any feeding issues?
The center channel of the nipple is a key part of the Baby Feeder. This channel maintains a closed system so the baby always gets a controlled amount of flow at any given time. The rigidity of the center channel also creates other benefits for the baby during feeding. First, the center channel keeps the nipple from collapsing as the baby sucks. Second, the rigidity of the nipple provides a large amount of sensory input to the baby, facilitating the cupping of the tongue for proper feeding.
