60 | How to bottle feed breastfed baby without causing nipple confusion
How to Bottle Feed Without Causing Nipple Confusion
If you’re planning to introduce a bottle but worried about nipple confusion, you’re not alone. Many new moms wonder how to balance bottle feeding with breastfeeding without causing problems. The good news? Nipple confusion is preventable with the right techniques.
In this episode of The Breastfeeding With Confidence Podcast, Jaimie, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and mom of five, explains how to offer bottles in a way that supports breastfeeding and keeps your baby comfortable at both breast and bottle.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
Jaimie covers:
What nipple confusion really is and why it happens
How to prevent nipple confusion when introducing a bottle
The basics of paced bottle feeding and why it matters
How to use side-lying bottle feeding for a natural, breast-like experience
Choosing the best bottle nipple for breastfed babies (slow flow, proper shape, and depth)
Red flags that bottle feeding is interfering with breastfeeding
Why technique matters more than buying the “perfect” bottle brand
Preventing Nipple Confusion
At the heart of preventing nipple confusion is making the bottle as similar to breastfeeding as possible. That means:
Slowing down the flow with paced feeding
Using positions like side-lying feeding
Picking a nipple that supports a deep latch
Watching your baby for cues and red flags
These small changes make a big difference in helping your baby transition smoothly between breast and bottle.
Resources for Breastfeeding Success
Bottle feeding doesn’t have to sabotage breastfeeding. With the right knowledge, you can feel confident in both. For step-by-step guidance on preventing nipple confusion, supplementing wisely, and protecting your breastfeeding journey, check out Jaimie’s Breastfeeding Resource Library.
