Sometimes, for many circumstances, nursing mothers want to continue doing so. It may be premature infants, children who need a supplement for medical advice or cases where mixed feeding ends up being imposed.
In general, when you have to take a supplement, you should use a teaspoon in a cup or more little ones as possible. This prevents the child to feel confused and then it is hard to properly latch on and suck effectively. However, depending on who should feed the baby or the amount of complement that the baby will get, many families prefer to use a bottle.
In such cases, if the family decides to use a bottle, find a way to minimize adverse breastfeeding, either because the intention is to maintain MBF, either because the bottle use is temporary and no intention to recover exclusive breastfeeding. It can also be used if the mother is expressing milk to supplement what the baby sucks by itself and cracks or painful wounds that really prevent direct suction.
