Is it possible for a baby to eventually develop a good latch? My baby is almost 2 weeks old and from the time of birth she wouldn't suck when she latched. She has a really small mouth she was barely 6 pound when born and was born 2 weeks early. I tried everything between shields and the shells (my nipples are pretty flat unless I pump or they are stimulated) and I was so frustrated I just cried for days because I couldn't give her what I knew she wanted. The nurses were no help because there was no lactation consultant on staff my whole hospital stay. So now I'm exclusively pumping but still bringing her to my breast when she is calm trying to get her to latch. But we're still having some
Issues. I'm hoping there's still a chance.

I have flat nipples too. I would pump for a few minutes to bring the nipple out then he latched til his mouth got a little bigger. good luck momma
Yeah I've called the one the pediatrician recommended but she never called me back. But I'm on the hunt for others me antistevanmommie
Have you tried looking for a lactation consultant in your area? If you haven't you could they could probably give you good pointers even now to try to help her latch.
I have them and wore them everyday all day for a week and she still won't. Her mouth is so small she just has a tough time. -_- I'm holding when she's a little bigger she'll figure it out. We won't give up in the mean time. Just frustrating when I've wanted to breast feed so badly and it doesn't work out right away @logansmommy214
Go buy breast shields. My sister used them and they worked great. I'm gonna use them if I run into a issue with breastfeeding.
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...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Thank you. I'm gonna start trying that @auburnmom2
