my son is 4 weeks old and I was exclusively bf but as of a week ago he can't seem to suck. I pumped breast milk in a bottle but he is having trouble with that as well. he chews instead of sucking. does anyone know of any way to get him to suck. I don't like using a bottle and worry about his weight. I want to bf for as long as possible and don't want my supply to dissappear
I'm thinking about buying the nipple guards to see how that works. I try him with different positions and switching breasts but he just chews. he reminds me of a gerbil sometimes. it's very frustrating
My little one wouldn't latch on at all. I bought a nipple guard from target and he latched onto that right away. If you do, I recommend buying a few in case it gets lost or something though.
