When breastfeeding is a struggle, a cup is a great alternative to bottle feeding to help get baby back to the breast. Watching baby’s cues are essential. You’re not pouring the milk into baby’s mouth, you’re giving baby control over drinking.

Breast and bottle feeding work completely different. A baby at the breast used mostly muscles of the tongue and jaw to express milk while a baby uses more cheek and lip muscles to move milk from a bottle. Both positive and negative pressure are needed to express milk from the breast. The back of the tongue creates a vacuum in the mouth as it pumps up and down to draw milk in via negative pressure while the front of the tongue compresses the breast to help push milk out. Bottle feeding uses mostly positive pressure from compressing the bottle nipple. It is an easier process to move milk from a bottle than the breast. A cup uses the same muscles as the breast. Using a cup actually promotes breastfeeding and is a great alternative to supplementing baby when breastfeeding is the goal.
