Nipple confusion

2 replies

Hodgewell1 · 15/02/2020 23:17

My DD is two weeks and we had been exclusively breastfeeding until we both developed thrush. As it was very painful for both of us I used nipple shields to maintain my supply and also introduced one bottle of formula a day as she wasn’t feeding as much with the shields. DD has now developed nipple confusion. The problem is with the latching. She tries to latch and feed in the same way as with a bottle resulting in nipple feeding and sore nipples. Even when I get the latch right she moves to a nipple feeding position. Does anyone have any experience of how to resolve nipple confusion effectively?

Not sure this is posted in the right place maybe suggest it’s moved so the right audience see it.

Sorry I’ve not experienced it myself so not much help
