My new baby was born by C-section, so he was in the nursery for a day.
While he was there, the nurses fed him sugar water in those bottles
with nice big nipples with big holes that are easy to suck. As 
a result, he began to turn down the breast, very angrily I might add.
My wife ended up pumping her milk and putting it in a bottle.
We then got a breast sheild, which is a bottle-like nipple on a ribber disk
that the mother puts over her nipple. He likes that just fine, so
the problem isn't that the breast is too hard to suck. I have a five-day-old
rubber fetishist! What can we do? Why do hospitals do things like this
to us?
