Feeding Issue
My son is 15 days old , we are trying to breast feed him but due to nipple shape inconsistency we have to use artifical nipple for support , the same we use to give formula milk also. I want to know if using artifical nipple for feeding can cause any oral or mouth shape problem in future if we use the same beacause the size of the artifical nipple is big for a new born baby and If theres any specification we can follow for buying the right nipple for feeding for new born or any alternative.
