he Denver Chinook Breastfeeding
Matters Group informed INFACT of a developmental test for toddlers
18 months old. It includes a question on bottle feeding. The examiner
provides the child with a doll and a bottle. If the child puts
the bottle to the doll's mouth, he/she is given a "pass,"
but children attempting to "breastfeed" by placing the
doll to their chests, are given a "fail!" The examiner
then encourages the child to use the bottle, since "breastfeeding
alone is not a pass."
