Background

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, American Academy of Pediatrics, World Health Organization, and other international organizations have recommended that all children should be breastfed, unless there is a medical contraindication. It is particularly important that Down syndrome and other hypotonic children be breastfed, to minimize the risk of morbidities associated with artificial feedings, many of which they are at increased risk from by virtue of their condition.

.............

Challenges to breastfeeding the hypotonic child exist, but many can successfully feed at the breast. No evidence exists that Down syndrome or other hypotonic infants feed better with the bottle than at the breast. Further, no evidence suggests that these children need to feed from a bottle before going to breast. Breastfeeding should be actively promoted and supported in these infants.
