I was astounded to see some of my collegues out there saying that there is
no such thing as nipple confusion!   Tell that to the countless women whom I
have worked with over come the devastating effects of "not nipple confusion"
over the last 17 years of helping nursing mothers!  I have seen countless
mother baby couples where the baby had several good feeds and then someone-
hospital personel, well meaning grandparent, or ignorant parent introduced a
"foriegn object" ie teat- into the baby's mouth and there was no getting the
baby back to the breast.  I have even seen this phenomoenon occur with
finger feeding.

Call it "breast preferance" or whatever you like.  I will continue to call
it as I see it, and as I see it, there are a lot of babies out there with
what I will continue to call "nipple confusion".
