Keep trying! Maybe contact a lactation consultant tomorrow dont give up the first few weeks are always the hardest

Dont give up it hard but worth it. Are you working with a IBCLC?

@leiibaaaby, I just feel like he is not getting any food.. sigh he will lached for few mins and then I can't get him too. my ob nurse is coming by in the morning... at 10am. I not been to sleep in 8 hours.

@marmber, what is that.. and ty ladies I'm just so upset.

try getting a nipple shield,

@theirmommy_2, where do I get that???

Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Has he been gaining weight? Was he checked for either a lip or tongue? I had a difficult time bf at first too. It does get easy

ask a nurse she'll get you one

@theirmommy_2, I am at home. he is in bed with his passifier. my nurse comes to my house at 10am. will he be ok then. he weighed 7lbs 14oz at birth he is 7lbs and 11oz now... @marmber

thank you I just got off the phone with my nurse she said he will be ok till she gets here.

Sometimes it's hard for them to latch on. I tried so hard but my baby girl couldn't latch until she was almost 2 months. Now she's almost 10 months and we're still going strong!

it took my son 50+ tries in a row, like tons of practice and I also used a nipple shield with him to make it easier for him while we learned. Like anything, it takes practice!

also newborn babies have really small stomachs...

I was feeding thru this nipple shield but now I just pump and give my baby breastmilk. I found it very comfortable for myself:)
