Baby Larry is a week old now and won't take my breast and is having a lot of trouble bottle feeding. anyone have any suggestions please? I'm really starting to get scared that he is going to starve himself.
The dr checked him for both of those yesterday during his weight check @jomommaclark. He didn't have either. His dr thinks it's just because he is lazy.
All he does is lick it and get frustrated. And when u try feeding him my milk from a bottle he won't even latch on the bottle so he is only getting what drips into his mouth which frustrates him and he starts crying. My poor poor baby. @thehowtohippie
You're not a failure. Breastfeeding is hard. Just keep trying and getting him to latch. Try expressing some milk into his mouth
I have one coming today between 430 and 6pm but I can't get him to eat now and it's stressing me out. I am feeling like a huge failure @thehowtohippie
Drs aren't great at checking lip and tongue tie. Get the lactation consultant to look
