In this episode of The Baby Fact Check, new dad Greg Foot is joined by trusted experts to fact check some of the most common pieces of social media parenting advice around introducing a bottle to a breastfed baby: “Don’t introduce a bottle until 6 weeks or you’ll cause nipple confusion and ruin breastfeeding.” “Breast milk pumped late at night contains sleep hormones so don’t feed that to your baby in the morning.” “Formula-fed babies feed less often and sleep for longer.” With help from Nina Morley (Infant Feeding Lead for the health visitor service at Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust) and Amie Field (Lead Midwife for Infant Feeding at the Rosie Maternity Hospital), Greg explores what “nipple confusion” really means and how parents can navigate introducing a bottle to a breastfed baby.
