I am a first time Mum and just delivered a baby for 10 days. There is a saying that for those who try to breastfeed should CUP FEED formula to baby if they need supplement BUT NOT BOTTLE FEED. This is because bottle feed can leads to nipple confusion that baby may refuse breast nipple if they were given a bottle before. Is this saying true.

My baby has not regain his initial birth weigth so I have to supplement formula for him while my milk supply has not yet well established. I have been CUP FEEDING him due to the above reason. But this cause him to swallon too much gas and take us a long time to feed too. Sometimes, I also worry about choking but this happens only twice and was very minor.

I still have to supplement at the moment...should I continue to cup feed or actually bottle feed is ok??

Thanks for any advice
