Ugh ! I was trying to get paisley to latch and she was screaming up a storm (which is why we ALWAYS end up giving her a…

Bradley wouldn't latch for anything. so I pumped for a while but eventually quit that. at least you're still going strong with the pumping (: I still get depressed and bitter that I couldn't breastfeed

@blessedmommy, almost 5 months (on the 16th) strong 💪 I just wish her dad would help when I'm trying to get her to latch...I can't get the nipple shield on right by myself so I need his help I feel like she might latch if we were using the shield

Get a nipple shield it might help you . it helped me ,he couldn't latch either @hayleymarie

@senadas, we have one but I struggle with getting it on correctly by myself

It was hard for me too. they need to some how make it easier lol. the two times he did latch it was with the shield

@blessedmommy, I agree !

don't say your a failure that is not true!!

@alicia3_21, that's the way it feels though love yeah she still gets my milk by pumping but we don't get the bond from breastfeeding

I read somewhere that they have like something u put on your boob for the pumped milk to go through. I don't remember where I'll look into it. maybe that would help the bond ??

@alicia3_21, hmm never heard of that I'll have to check into that...plus I would LOVE to be able to go places and not have to carry a lunchbag with milk...

yeah I bet. and I can't find it. .. I'm trying...

@alicia3_21, aw thanks dear 💕 it's such a pain carrying around milk and a pump everywhere we go when my boobs are attached to me !

I bet it is. ::( I hope things get better

@alicia3_21, I'm not going to give up thats for sure ! Thanks dear I hope so too

that's good!!

have you tried the water trick?

@firstbaby_girl, water trick ? What's that?

I used to use it all the time when i was bf. I would dip my whole nipple shield in water and then place it on the center of the nipple. it helped suction it better. then having some water on it seemed to help stimulate kyler to want to latch

@firstbaby_girl, ooooh I'll try that

let me know how it goes mama

@firstbaby_girl, will do love 😘 thanks for the tip!
