HELP! My baby is a few weeks old. We had trouble with latch in the beginning and she wasn't getting enough food I had to introduce formula to clear her jaundice when she came home..was nervous about introducing the bottle because I knew it might confuse her which I think it did and now have been giving her some breast milk I pump and formula as well. Really want to get her to latch on my breast but it is not working. Any advice here??

@mamamj, she's nursing like a champ now! I've been consistently offering her the boob before the bottle and it worked now she's with it :) Thank you for that tip!!
You got this! The best thing to do is keep trying. Giving up will be the only reason it wouldn't work out. I went through the same problems. Hope everything works out for you.
@junesmommy15, what a relief that makes me feel better you're giving me hope!
@mamamj, that's a good tip too I will try that as well thank you!!
Nope not too late. I pumped my baby's first couple of weeks. One day I decided to try and latch him and here we are 8 months later.
she can definitely get the hang of it again! just try to be patient and always offer the breast before the bottle at her feedings. hope she catches on again for you!
@junesmommy15, okay gotcha. thanks again. she's only a few weeks old it's not too late for her to try to learn again right ? it's probably just more challenging
You're welcome. You can also try a nipple shield, right. I would try the stimulation first. Lactation consultants will tell you not to make that your first choice.
@b3autifulm3ss, I tried that she liked it i think it reminds her of the bottle which she likes I'm going to try again with her just to get back to basics see if it helps. thank you!!
@junesmommy15, okay I'm going to try that! thank you!!
@mommynicki335, or try a nipple shield until baby has the hang of it
Pump your breast for about a minute and then latch her on. See if that'll help. Sometimes if your nipple is stimulated it helps the baby latch well. Also try expressing milk on her tongue. Let me know how that goes.
My baby girl does not let me do anything all day 😭 I'm lucky if everything is done before my s.o gets home , she cried so I pick her up to feed her and change her diaper and once she's on my breast she eats and I burp her put her down and she'll cry I get her again and she's on my breast not even latched on just smelling my boobs 😭 I'm like girl really lmao she wants me to carry her or be with her all day , girl I wish I could lmao
So when do you start your daughters in bras?
Mines is 4 right now and I don’t want to start her late and her breast start to drop.
I think if my mom put me in bra earlier that I would’ve had a better breast shape or something . I just felt my breast could’ve been supported better to get a better structure.
She has little buds but she is 4 and she isn’t chunky so I’m not sure yet. Advice?
my mom died this morning. She lived with me. this morning she woke up and went to the bathroom. i was on zoom and i heard a bang. she died in the bathroom. i wasn’t able to open the door or help her. she’s had health issues but this was unexpected. my kids were at home, i had someone come get them. i had to stay in the house with her body until the funeral home came to get her. idk how to tell my kids. they loved her sooooo much. i don’t know how to be at home. i’m just so lost. she was all i ha...
