Did anyone have trouble breastfeeding the first days with a baby boy? My son shows interest but he doesn't open his mouth wide enough :/ it gets me worried that he's not getting enough colostrum ? Any tips ?

For me the first few days were hard but my LC told me to breastfeed skin to skin and to squeeze my boob so that the clear stuff comes out then to rub it on his lips and it should make him want it. I hope he isn't rejecting it completely. Good luck mama

Are you still at the hospital? Either way, see if you can talk to your hospital's lactation consultant. This website is my go-to for all lactation/breastfeeding/milk questions. See if it helps. http://kellymom.com/ages/newborn/nb-challenges/back-to-breast/

Hand express onto a spoon and give it to him with a feeding syringe. But for sure see a lactation consultant.

@mommabeardurso, did they give you the syringe or did you have to buy one ?
