Hello, I received a telephone call from a woman whose 5 day old baby had stopped nursing abruptly. In the process of trying to determine what was happening, I mentioned nipple confusion, and described it for her. She told me that her pediatrician and "lactitionist" had told her that nipple confusion was a myth. This threw me a bit. I told her that I have been working with breastfeeding mothers for years, and have seen it before. I told her "It is my responsibility to share this information with you. Then you have to decide what you are going to believe." Have any of you heard similar stories? Since when is nipple confusion a myth? :-) Andrea -- *************************************************** Andrea Eastman, MA, CCE Granville, Ohio mailto:[log in to unmask] Gentle Birth Alternatives http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/8978 ***************************************************
