My son finally latched. After 3 weeks. To be honest after being him home from the hospital I tried…

He will just make sure he burps .. I never breastfeed my 3 boys and I always had to give them colic meds. and now that I'm breastfeeding my daughter she's doing great

He started getting upset during feeding. Wondering if it's my diet or he drank all my milk. Because it's been rough after I've been out of the hospital between not getting sleep I've been trying to pump milk but have been neglecting the pump by pining 1-2 times a day max. I think my supply has dropped. Going to start power pumping. Even if he doesn't feed from my breast I want him to have the breast milk.

@princessvictoria,

I figured out that when im stressed or fustrated cuz she didn't latch she would cry and cry. I make sure I'm in a position that I'm comfortable and relaxed then I'll feed her try not to let him cry when his hungry he will start sucking before maybe his hand or just his mouth just like when his eating and feed him then. .. remember what you pump is not really what you produce. I only pump 2 times a day in the morning and at night before bed. there are days I pump 6 0z and others where I only pump 2 o 3 oz...and usually one makes more than the other one. .. the pump doesn't suck like baby does. . so don't go by that as long and baby is feeding they might be days where his gonna wanna eat every hour or every little while and your gonna feel his not getting full but he is its just days like that. . I usually feed her and have my so burp her at nights cause I'm sleepy I only breast feed I haven't given her bottle ... but you'll get the hang of it. it's hard work but pays off when you look down and see those eyes looking at you ..

If you need to up your supply get mothers milk tea! It works miracles. Also pump religiously, drink a lot of water, eat oatmeal(not instant oats lol), and try to get baby to latch as much as possible.

He's just not interested in the boob. He doesn't want to suck I think because the bottle gives faster flow. Babies aren't confused by nipple it's the flow. I will keep trying but it's discouraging because he won't take it. When he's hungry he wants it right away. I will try mothers milk. I need to be better at pumping more. It's hard these days.

@adaline0914,

It's okay. Maybe talk to a lac consultant first!
