This sentence caught my attention in the light of our previous dicussion on
confusion. Could it be that the difference in children who are and who are
not confused after bottles in the early days lays in the difference of
offering the bottle and only give it in when baby roots and on the other hand
just pushing the bottle in, regardless of wether the baby's mouth is open or
closed?

Warmly greeting,
