Definition of Bottlefeeding Bottlefeeding: The practice of
feeding an infant a substitute for breast milk. Pediatricians
generally advise exclusively breastfeeding (that is,
breastfeeding with no supplementary formula) for all full-term,
healthy infants for the first 6 months of life. However, many
infants are bottlefed today, at least in part. For infants to
achieve normal growth and maintain normal health, infant
formulas must include proper amounts of water, carbohydrate,
protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals.Source: MedTerms™ Medical
