Do pacis cause nipple confusion?

Question

Answer

Not nipple confusion but there’s other reasons why you should wait to give a paci or bottle. In the beginning babies nurse A LOT. It really helps build up your supply in the beginning. So if you give a pacifier instead of nursing you could be hurting your supply. 
For the bottle pacefeeding with a extremely slow flow nipple is really important. Babies have to work to get milk from the breast while the bottle uses gravity and it’s so much easier for them they may develop a preference over it.

Answer

It never did with our first daughter and I breastfed her. Although she didn’t really love the pacifier until she was more like 3 weeks old so that might have helped her get used to the breast first? But then she did great with nursing and bottle both even though she loved her pacifier too. Maybe we just got lucky lol

Answer

I’m not sure. It didn’t seem to with my first but I switched to pumping exclusively really fast like within a month and my 2nd wouldn’t take a pacifier and used my breast as a pacifier the whole time. The latch process is about the same and nothing comes out of it so baby shouldn’t end up preferring it to breast I wouldn’t think

Answer

It depends on the baby...I feel like drinking from a bottle can cause more nipple confusion since that’s more associated with eating...as sucking on a paci just satisfies the sucking reflex. I’ve heard some babies doing fine going from breastfeeding and bottle feeding no problem while others tend to prefer one over the other. My second baby wouldn’t take the bottle for months, but I’d rather that over wanting the bottle over nursing, since I wanted to breastfeed.
