Breastfeeding

Nipple Confusion?

I need help! I have a 'stud' and a 'dud'. I've been starting on the dud each time and doing extra minutes to try to increase supply, but it hasnt worked. At our 1 konth check-up the pedi said she wasn't gaining fast enough and told me to pump and bottle feed, mixed with rice cereal, 2 times a day. We stared that the day before yesterday and she took well to it. Problem is, now her latch is lazy, especially on the dud side. I don'tthink she'sgetting anything out if it, and I feel like uts not producing as much because of it.So, what should I do? I'm definitely taking away the paci. Should I stop the bottles until she's back on track? Should I pump tgecdud side after feedings to increase supply? Any advice is welcome. I'm kind of flipping out that I may have to stop breastfeeding, and might not even be able to pump now.
