Mom of a 3 yr 3 m old boy2 years ago
Q.

I have been breast feeding and formula feeding my 5 month old son. I use a nifty cup to feed formula. I have never used a bottle . My paediatrician recommended that I use a Sippy cup going forward to make it easier to feed him formula. I want to know if this will cause nipple confusion and make my son reject breast ? I am thinking of using a spout cup.

A. Breastfeeding is always a very important factor for the baby and mother and many times there are some problem faced by mother because of either wrong position while feeding lack of proper diet stress related factors. A proper is counselling is required which can be done by a lactational counsellor along with goa proper diet with plenty of liquids some supplements may be helpful like shatavari . Also try to avoid giving top milk in initial stage specially with bottle feeding which may be the culprit for lactational failure most of the time .
