For Mary: Whatever the alternate supplementing method used, most babies get "? confused" (as opposed to nipple confused). Those babies get confused with anything if they go to long without being at the breast. The best way I know to supplement and to "buy time" is using a supplementing device but it can only be used if the baby latches on...From what I understood this baby did latch on but what not sucking well. In this case, a supplementing device would probably be the best if used properly...Suck training can work well if the baby responds well and does not become frustrated.
