I'm feeling really bad about myself lately, I really want to breastfeed but when she was born we…

keep at it. my son was the same way with the fighting. but I kept at it. he latches great. and is just strictly breastfed. good luck u got this

I can't even get her to take my nipple anymore...it's torture on my soul

Do skin-to-skin contact with her for about an hour a day for a while. Eventually, she'll start tying to find a nipple and doing that will create an amazing bond between you two. Also, if you have her on a schedule for feedings, position you and her for breastfeeding about 10 minutes before her feeding time. That way she won't be angry because she's hungry. You can also try squeezing some milk out of your nipple and rubbing it on her lips and a little in her mouth. She'll taste it and want more. It's a process to breastfeed but I know you can do it :)

thank you!!

my son didn't start breastfeeding until a month and a half. his tummy time was mostly on my chest. one day after my shower HE decided it was time to start breastfeeding. he was trying to shove his head under my sports bra. have hope and don't stress. as long as she's getting breast milk to start, be happy about that!

she will root and put my nipple in her mouth but then starts screaming.. like she won't really try to suckle. and most of her tummy time is on my chest as well!

have u tried nipple shields. I'm not sure if that's what they're called.. they tried me on me in the hospital, it's to help them latch on..

I do still have hers from when we were in the hospital!
