Myths
|
 |
|
 |
Myth: One bottle is most like breastfeeding
Fact: Every mother has a unique shape, texture, and flow. Every baby has a unique suck. How can one brand be most like breastfeeding for every baby? | |
 |
Myth: Wide neck nipples are most like a breast
Fact: Just because a bottle nipple looks like a breast does not mean it will act like a breast, or that a baby can achieve a good latch on that shape. | |
 |
Myth: Bottle use ends in nipple confusion
Fact: When a bottle nipple is chosen according to the SIMPLE Method, and the flow of the bottle is controlled to mimic breastfeeding, nipple confusion or preference is unlikely. | |
|
 |
Myth: Mothers should not introduce a bottle
Fact: Actually, the mother is the only person who is acquainted with what her baby's latch looks like on her breast. She is the perfect person to introduce the bottle. | |
|
 |
Myth: Don't use a bottle until 1 week before work
Fact: Depending on the baby's age, this may lead to nipple resistance and disaster. Older babies learn to prefer mom's breast, and may be unwilling to even try a bottle. | |
|
 |
Myth: Bottle use leads to low milk supply
If a mother understands supply and demand, and she pumps her breasts with a high quality pump for missed feedings, it is possible for her to maintain her milk supply. | | |
