The issue isn't whether we can agree on a "label" to describe baby who is
not feeding at breast.  Your "nipple confusion" is my "flow preference" is
her "oroboobular disproportion."

The real issue is:  what support is the mother getting, once she figures out
her baby doesn't latch and feed the way she thought it would?  If the HCP
says "Ain't no such thing as nipple confusion," and turns and walks away,
that is hardly addressing what needs attention:  a baby who is not feeding
at breast.
