Breastfeeding on demand is a popular approach among mothers who want to ensure their babies receive adequate nutrition and bond with them through feeding. However, some experts believe that this practice may lead to nipple confusion, causing difficulty in breastfeeding. Nipple confusion occurs when babies switch between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, leading to confusion in their suckling patterns. This can result in sore nipples, reduced milk production, and difficulty in breastfeeding. While nipple confusion is a common concern among breastfeeding mothers, there are ways to prevent it, such as waiting until breastfeeding is well-established before introducing a bottle or using a slow-flow nipple to mimic breastfeeding. By understanding the risks of nipple confusion, mothers can make informed decisions about their feeding practices and ensure their babies receive the best care possible.
