I'm really struggling with breastfeeding & it's making me really upset. Nipples are so sore that last night I was actually feeding him blood! I have had to formula feed him the past two times but we did try breast first. He just doesn't latch on & we've tried all angles. I'm coming to my wits end and he is only 3 days old! Someone help!

Try stripping him down to just his nappy and when it's hurting and he isn't latched right then tickle/tub the bottom of his foot, my midwife said this guides them somehow and they want to bond more when it's skin to skin contact, worked wonders for me but everyone's different good luck xx
@laa286, @tiasohi1 @baby316 thanks ladies! I've spoken to a midwife and she showed me how it's just me and max do not compute yet. I'm expressing for now and visiting a load of drop in clinics next week to get help! He seems to like the bottles though!
There should be breastfeeding clinics that run near you or call your health visitor who will help. #lanolin cream is amazing and start putting that on several times a day. Express for now so he still gets your milk ... And get nipple guards ... They are fab xx
Breastfeeding is not easy. I struggled with my first baby she latched on ok but I just wasn't producing enough milk and she was hungry and very upset. My breasts and nipples were very sore and I called the breast feeding helpline who weren't much help to me. They said to put warm flannels on the breast to try and get the milk ducts working. Also have you got Lansinoh Lanolin cream to put on your nipples it's expensive but worth the money. Make sure you see your doctor thought if your breasts get too painful as you can get mastitis which is very uncomfortable but can easily be treated if caught at the right time. Hope this reassures you that you are not alone as I know a lot of family and friends make me feel bad for not breastfeeding but I just wanted my little girl to be happy and healthy. Xx
This is only my experience so u need to do what's best for u but I had this with my first. I tried for just over a week, I was sore got cut twice with loads of stitches. my nappies were sore and I got shooting pains through my breasts. baby didn't feed well and wouldn't settle and constantly wanting more. I gave up although a lot of people made me feel like a failure and gave into bottle. I had a lot of problems finding milk that she would keep down and since she won't drink milk. all of my other 3 have been bottle from start and have been fantastic. you know yourself what your body can do and what Is best for u and baby! whatever u decide don't let anyone think u have made wrong choice!! 😆xx
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up...
my son just turned three months yesterday should I be feeding him every four hours? cause I'm pretty bad about feeding him every time he cries and he always takes the bottle so I'm feeding him like every two hours
how do you tell someone you might be pregnant? i'm not sure i'm pregnant but i want to tell the guy i was sleeping with so he can get me a test. i don't really talk to him and he has a girlfriend so i have no clue what the right way to talk to him is and i'm freaking out
Just so mad at my husband before we moved he promised he would put our son to bed at night and get him his bottle. Then promised that on the mornings he doesn't work or the ones he works later he would feed him breakfast so I can have my relax time before having him all day long. Then every morning he is here he says he's not going to get him breakfast because he doesn't want to and sits there telling me to go make and feed our son breakfast. Then every time I remind him of his promise he rolls ...
I had this with my baby turned out he had tonguetie so wasn't able to latch on properly. Have they checked your baby for it worth asking if not.
