I am confused about the term "nipple confusion".  Just what does this mean??
(Please don't respond. I'm being sarcastic)
Seriously- I really shy away from that term.  I once heard someone  much
wiser than I am (myabe Kittie Franz?) say that a better term might be
"Nipple Preference" or "Feeding Preference".  When mothers ask me about
nipple confusion I usually say something about breast and bottle feeding
being different and using different muscles.  I then suggest that it's best
to allow a baby to learn one new skill at a time, especially after just
being born!! I always felt that it might be misunderstood and that was
reiterated by the lacnet post.  I do learn so much here!
