Nipple Confusion in Babies
Nipple confusion is not uncommon, and it happens when a baby struggles to get adjusted to sucking from nipples after having learnt how to suck on a bottle or a dummy.
From the baby’s point of view, sucking on the nipples or the sucking that is needed for breastfeeding is different from sucking on a teat or dummy. This means that your baby finds it difficult to latch on (hold on) to your breasts and suck milk. This causes confusion. However, it isn’t something that should alarm the mother since there are ways to resolve it.

What is Nipple Confusion
In most bottles, the teats are rigid, and the flow of milk is also constant. This means, your baby does not need to work much in order to get the milk.
On the other hand, when it comes to feeding on your breast, your baby needs to open his mouth to latch on. Along with it, he also needs to use around 40 muscles in his mouth to suck the milk.
There are multiple reasons many babies don’t learn how to breastfeed right from day one. One of the main reasons they do not get the hang of the process is because they find it difficult to latch on. However, that should not disappoint you. If your baby is not able to latch on and is reluctant to breastfeed, this does not mean that your baby is rejecting you.
My Baby is Not Drinking Breast Milk But Prefers a Bottle, What Should I Do?
The first thing that you need to find out is why your baby is giving the teats of the bottles more preference when naturally he should prefer your nipples. You can also consult a lactation expert and seek help about the best latching positions to help your baby breastfeed.
Till your baby gets comfortable with latching, you can try to find a way to feed him breastmilk that is poured into a bottle instead of from the nipple. This will ensure he is still being fed breastmilk and can enjoy all the benefits of mother’s milk.
Does a Breastfed Baby Get Confused with a Bottle of Expressed Milk?
The answer to this question is still unclear. According to some experts, giving your baby milk in bottles can lead to breastfeeding issues. However, it is hard to say whether the bottles are the cause of the problem, or there are existing breastfeeding problems that force mothers to try bottle milk.
While trying to establish breastfeeding, you can consider introducing a bottle of expressed milk. Feeding expressed milk ensures your baby gets all the benefits of breastmilk while allowing you the luxury of delegating the job of feeding. Try out different bottles and see which is the one your child responds to best, to figure out the best bottle to avoid nipple confusion.
When expressing, keep in mind your baby’s 24-hour feeding routine. Your breasts will be able to produce the same amount of milk every day, and you will not have the feeling of becoming uncomfortably full (breast engorgement).
What Are the Causes of Nipple Preference?
As a general rule, all babies are born with the knowledge of how to suck, and their brains are hardwired to suck from their mother’s breasts. However, at times, they develop a preference for the teat of a bottle and find it difficult to suck from the breasts, and there are several reasons for this.
Many people think that the cause of nipple confusion or nipple preference is the fact that it is easier for a baby to suck milk from a bottle compared to breasts. Others think that the baby forgets how to latch on after learning how to drink from the bottle.
However, sucking milk from the breasts is something that the baby knows instinctively right from his birth. A baby will not prefer to suck milk from a bottle unless he finds it troublesome to get enough milk from his mother’s breasts.
Signs of Nipple Confusion
Your baby finding it difficult, or simply refusing to latch on, is the earliest sign of nipple confusion and may happen when your baby is not getting enough milk from your breasts.
Some signs that your baby is not getting the required amount of milk from your breasts are as follows:
when the baby refuses to nurse
when you experience breast engorgement. If your breasts are engorged with milk or your breasts have firm tissues, then it indicates your baby will not be able to get a good mouthful of your breasts and refuse to latch on
sore nipples
slowdown in the increase of the baby’s weight
signs of a tongue-tie in the baby. This can make it difficult for them to breastfeed
While these issues add to the problem, they should not be confused with nipple confusion. These are breastfeeding problems, and by getting rid of these, you can get rid of nipple confusion too.
How Can I Prevent Nipple Confusion?
How to overcome nipple confusion is a common question that many nursing moms ask. Here are some of the tips that can help:
Go back to the basics: You need to go back to the basics of latching on to make your baby realise how soothing breastfeeding is by cuddling him skin to skin. Typically, you will need a few sessions when your baby is fumbling with your breasts, but these sessions will help the baby root for and latch on to your breast.
Make the milk flow smoother: You can do so manually, or you can even pump your breasts before your baby latches on. This will reduce the effort on the baby’s part.
Timing is important: The baby needs to be hungry to latch on, and that is the only way by which you can motivate him to give it a try. However, that does not mean that the baby should starve as that will make him lose his patience to suck hard and get the milk.
Keep faux nipples at bay: With babies frequently experiencing nipple confusion, it is best to keep bottles away. Stick to breastfeeding till you start giving him solid food. Make sure to keep away the pacifier too, if your baby has got too attached to sucking it.
Difference Between Breastfeeding Vs. Bottle Feeding
As per experts, breastfeeding is always a better option than bottle feeding. The mother’s milk is always at the right temperature, and it has the right balance of all the nutrients. However, breast engorgement, lack of time, etc., make bottle feeding the preferable option if direct breastfeeding is not possible.
How to Fix Nipple Confusion In Babies?
If you think that nipple confusion is causing a lot of problems for both you and your baby, you can seek professional help.
You can visit a breastfeeding counsellor or a breastfeeding clinic and learn the techniques of how to avoid nipple confusion. A counsellor will help you with the right techniques that might eliminate the problem immediately, or they will help you in finding out the problem that is making breastfeeding difficult for your child.
Can I Continue to Breastfeed My Child?
Yes. Exclusively breastfeeding your baby is probably the only way to deal with nipple confusion. If there are breastfeeding problems, then you should talk to professionals and find solutions to them.
Will Nipple Confusion Affect My Baby?
Breastfeeding is important as the mother’s milk is packed with all the nutrients, minerals, and vitamins that a baby needs. It is easily digestible as well. Giving your baby expressed milk is the second best alternative to breastfeeding and often the best option when breastfeeding is not possible. Nipple confusion will not affect your baby as long as he is getting breast milk in some form.
Conclusion: Remember that nipple confusion does not affect your baby directly. However, b If the above guidelines don’t resolve the problem of nipple confusion in your baby, consult an expert. Read more

Smoking During Pregnancy: Effects On You And Your Baby
Cigarettes contain multiple lethal toxins, like tar, nicotine, CO, etc. which are detrimental to health. It is additionally dangerous for pregnant women as it can easily cause damage owing to their lowered immunity in pregnancy. Smoking can be a cause of various ante-natal as well as post-natal complications such as placental problems and low birth weight.
Why is Smoking Harmful in Pregnancy?
Smoking tobacco while pregnant can affect the mother’s as well as baby’s health. The nicotine (addictive in cigarettes), CO, and various other toxins are absorbed into mother’s blood. These toxins have the potential to enter the placenta and reach the baby.
How Will Smoking Affect Your Pregnancy?
Smoking predisposes pregnant women to the following conditions:
Pre-term delivery: Numerous studies have found a link between premature births and smoking though with no concrete explanation. However, one theory is that the toxins present in cigarettes cause high blood pressure and other placental complications which induces early delivery.
Ectopic pregnancy: Women who smoke have a higher risk of the fertilised egg getting implanted in the fallopian tube. This can cause issues such as internal bleeding and the death of either the mother or the foetus.
Vaginal bleeding: Smoking causes damage to vascular endothelium (fragile uterine vessels), which leads to multiple hormonal imbalances causing Vaginal bleeding.
Placental pathologies such as Abruptio placenta: The placenta develops intrauterine & provides oxygen and nutrition to the baby through the umbilical cord. Abruptio placenta is a condition in which the placenta gets detached from the uterine walls during pregnancy.
Loss of pregnancy: Studies have shown that direct and second-hand/passive smoking increases the risk of miscarriage among pregnant women. While the exact reason eludes experts, it is believed that these toxins alter the genetic makeup of the child causing a miscarriage.
Difficult Labour: In a few cases, smoking might cause the uterus to contract inadequately, making it difficult to have a normal delivery.
Respiratory problems: Bronchitis, bronchial carcinoma may occur due to smoking, which lowers the maternal immunity.
Effects of Smoking on Baby
Active or passive smoking during pregnancy can lead to a host of problems in the newborn including:
Respiratory problems: Smoking has been known to cause sleep apnea as it irritates the tissues around the airways making it swell. This, in turn, increases the susceptibility to tuberculosis and asthma in later life.
Immune deficiencies: Cigarette smoke affects the hematopoietic stem cells, thereby lowering the immunity cells. This, in turn, makes the baby more prone to infections.
Congenital defects; Babies exposed to cigarette smoke due to smoking during the first month of pregnancy are more prone to have congenital problems like cleft lip, cardiac anomalies, etc.
Developmental issues; It hampers the physical as well as neurological growth, which may cause stunting and mental retardation. It is also an important cause of poor scholastic performance.
Sudden infant death syndrome(SIDS): This is a condition when the infant dies suddenly without any warning signs. While doctors are unable to find an explanation as to how smoking is responsible for this, numerous studies have shown that there is a direct correlation.
Risk of Second-hand and Third-hand Smoking While Pregnant
Even non-smokers can be affected by cigarette smoke if they are around people who smoke.
Second-hand smoking
For babies exposed to such environmental tobacco smoke, there is an increased risk of developing asthma, respiratory tuberculosis, and right-sided heart problems due to lung diseases. It is also associated with lower IQ.
Third hand smoking
This happens when the harmful residues are inhaled after a smoking session. Thus, smoking in adistant room or well-ventilated enclosure does not guarantee safety. Third-hand smoke can be harmful as the babies may develop asthma, learning problems and cancers later in life.
Can I Use E-Cigarettes When Pregnant?
Although e-cigarettes haven’t yet been extensively studied for their safety profile, researchers and clinicians worldwide suggest avoiding them when pregnant. Although it is claimed that e-cigarettes have significantly lower amounts of toxins including nicotine than regular cigarettes, these amounts may be enough to affect the foetal health. Artificial flavours and preservatives used in e-cigarettes again are subjects of concern for pregnant women.
Complications at Birth Due to Smoking During Pregnancy
Premature Baby: Maternal smoking may cause your baby to be born before the 37th week of pregnancy. These babies are more prone to health issues as compared to the ones delivered on or around due time.
Congenital defects: Structural complications like cleft lip or palate or serious vital organ defects like transposition of great arteries and ventricular septal defects.
Intra Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR): Smoking may affect your baby’s physical growth as it may lead to birth weights less than 2.5 kgs. Studies have shown that this is more likely to happen to pregnant women who are older than 35 years of age although the reason is unclear.
Miscarriage: Cigarette smoking while pregnant increases the chances of miscarriages or abortions before 20 completed weeks of pregnancy. Stillbirth is one wherein the baby is born dead but had crossed the age of viability or 28 weeks of pregnancy.
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS): An infant (baby less than 1-year-old)’s health may deteriorate suddenly and he could die, which is known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Tips to Help You Quit Smoking
Dedicate a no smoke day. Dump all your smoking apparatus on this day.
Seek your partners help. Avoid your smoking gangs, hangouts and things that can remind you of the bad habit.
Engross yourself in productive activities. Make regimes for walks, jogs, yoga sessions and gym workouts. You may use light healthy snacks or chewing gums.
Discuss with your doctor about nicotine gums, nasal sprays, cutaneous (skin) patches and drugs.
Participate in social and community groups and activities that help fight smoking habit.
You may keep the cigarette pack, lighters and your ashtrays out of your sight
Volunteer and talk to people who smoke around you about the health hazards associated.
Do not hesitate from talking to your family or your counsellor for help and emotional support.
Benefits of quitting smoking during pregnancy
Good Oral hygiene: Smoking has various adverse effects on your dental hygiene.
Respiratory well-being: Smoking is associated with a list of respiratory problems, like COPD or bronchitis, Lung cancer, etc
Immunity benefits: Smoking reduces your immune capacity, making you susceptible to a host of infectious diseases, like tuberculosis.
Cancer protection: Smoking is associated with malignancies of the oral cavity, larynx, bronchus and lungs.
Less chances of foetal malformations: Smoking can cause congenital defects or malformations in the baby.
Normal foetal growth and development: Smoking can cause growth retardation and neurological problems in the baby.
Limited exposure of the child to smoke: Young children exposed to cigarette smoking by the parents in the house are more likely to take up the habit in future.
Prosperity of the family: Smoking often incurs significant cost, and quitting the habit can also lead to peace in the house.
Does Smoking During Pregnancy Cause Problems?
Young women often have a query whether it is safe to smoke during pregnancy? To eliminate all myths and doubts, No, it isn't safe to smoke while pregnant. Smoking during pregnancy is dangerous as mothers who smoke are more vulnerable due to immune compromised status and this may result in low baby weights, amongst other severe complications. Such, undernourished low birth weight babies are more prone to infections and sudden deaths.
FAQs
1. Can nicotine replacement products be used during pregnancy to quit smoking?
Nicotine replacement products supply constant low dose nicotine in the bloodstream when used, reducing the craving one gets because of the nicotine in cigarettes. This nicotine in the circulation may cross the blood-placenta barrier and pass into the foetal circulation causing health hazards in the foetus. Authorities like the American college of Obs & Gyn suggests non- pharmacological treatments like smoking cessation groups and counselling before any such medical measures, and only when the nicotine risk is exceeded by the benefits in helping to quit cigarettes.
2. Can I Cut Down on Smoking During Pregnancy or Do I Have to Quit?
Smoking any kind of cigarette or cigar is potentially harmful to the mother and baby. One may find it difficult to quit smoking instantly and may wish to gradually cut down on the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Clearly, the less the number of cigarettes smoked the lower is the risk during pregnancy. However, it is best to quit the habit as it is hazardous even in small quantities. While pregnant, the earlier you quit smoking, the safer your pregnancy becomes the ideal time to give up smoking is before you conceive.
3. What Happens if You Smoke Even After Baby is Born?
Continuation of smoking after childbirth can expose your young one to certain diseases such as:
Recurrent URTI
Respiratory infections like pneumonia
Bronchial Asthma
E.N.T infections
Cognitive and developmental problems in the adolescent stage.
Conclusion
Cigarette smoking during pregnancy predisposes the foetus to various peri-natal complications due to the toxin contents in cigarettes. Smoking is in fact, extremely harmful for the mother and the baby, and should be given up as soon as possible. Read more
