Nipple Confused!

Hi! I believe my 26 days old is now nipple confused! 😭 I have been switching between breastfeeding and bottle feeding and recently I’ve realized that he latches a lot less and gets cranky cause it’s getting harder to latch on. Any suggestions on what bottle to use for mix feeding? Thanks! #Needadvice #firsttimemom #nippleconfuse #helpamomout

Oh no, 26 days is still so early, don't worry, this is really common and definitely fixable! For mixed feeding, a lot of mums I know swear by bottles with a slower flow and a softer, breast-like teat. The Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles come up a lot because the nipple mimics breastfeeding better, and then a friend actually went with the Suavinex Zero Zero because of the soft silicone teat and the anti-colic valve, she said it made a real difference for her boy's latch when she switched back to the breast. Some mums also mention paced feeding (holding the bottle more horizontally and letting baby control the pace) makes a huge difference, even more than the bottle itself. The key thing people say is giving the breast time to recover too, maybe try to protect one feed or two a day as "breast only" so he remembers the latch, and don't introduce bottles too quickly in these early weeks. It's still very reversible at his age! That said, do check with your lactation consultant or doctor, they can watch his latch in person and give you the best advice for your situation. All the best with it!
