Is my baby experiencing nipple confusion?

Nipple confusion occurs when a baby struggles to switch between the breast and bottle, often because the flow from a bottle is much faster. To minimize this, use a slow-flow nipple, ensure whoever is feeding the baby uses the 'paced bottle feeding' technique, and avoid offering the breast and bottle in the same sitting if possible. If the behavior persists, size down the nipple flow and consider using bottles specifically designed to mimic the breast's natural latch.
