The reality is that the newborn learns quickly sucking plastic nipple requires much less effort in comparison to the mother's.

Continue to nurse and then offer the bottle as a supplemental formula. Monitor growth and watch for signs of hunger or discomfort. There are many benefits of nursing and nutrition from breast milk. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Please follow up with your Pediatrician.
