The frequency of second-line strategy use and parity is shown at Table 2. Sixty-two women reported using one
or more second-line strategies. ‘Bottle with regular teat’ was the single most commonly used second-line strategy.
However when combined, syringe feeding, finger feeding with a syringe, and finger/tube and syringe feeding
(n = 44) were most frequently used. The ‘cup’ strategy was more frequently used by primiparous women,
but there were only 12 instances of use in total. The nipple shield strategy was utilized by similar proportions of
primiparous and multiparous women, with 17 instances of use.
