Nipple confusion has become an important cause of breastfeeding failure.

What are the applications of silicone products in solving nipple confusion

When do I need to use silicone products to resolve nipple confusion

When there is nipple confusion, the baby’s common manifestations are to see the nipple crying, sucking ability is weak, and refusing the nipple.

See the nipple crying: if the baby often uses a pacifier to breastfeed, has adapted to the pacifier feeding, and when the nipple is fed again, there may be nipple confusion, crying, shaking and other phenomena such as seeing or touching the nipple.w

Weak sucking power: the material and taste of the nipple is different from that of the bottle, and after the nipple is confused with the baby who has been adapted to the pacifier feeding, the mother can obviously feel that the child’s sucking power is weak, and the long-term sucking is still not enough to eat.

Refusal of nipples: Infants with serious nipple confusion may even refuse breast milk. Even if the nipple is placed in the baby’s mouth, the baby will push it out with the tongue, or refuse to hold the nipple in the mouth when breastfeeding.

Preparation: Thoroughly clean and disinfect the silicone products before use, and let the mother relax herself and let the baby be in a warm and comfortable environment.

Procedure for using nipple protector: Turn the inside of the protective cover half out and apply a small amount of breast milk or water to the inside. Align the shield with the nipple so that the nipple is placed over the nipple of the shield. Fold the outer layer back and gently press around to make the shield fit tightly to the areola. When feeding the baby, you can gently hold the protective cover to prevent it from falling off.

Procedure for using auxiliary nursing device: Fill the feeder with breast milk or formula, connect the silicone catheter, and place the catheter head next to the nipple so that the baby can hold the catheter head and nipple at the same time. Adjust the milk flow rate as your baby sucks.
