My baby didn't latch right after birth so we've been bottle feeding him. Can i still try to get him to latch, eventually and is it possible for him to know how to bottle and breastfeed after only being bottle fed? I plan on getting a pump as soon as i can because of times that i might not be around him and doing both formulas and breast milk

you can still try there is no telling whether a baby will chose breast over bottle my son chose breastfeeding till he was 7 MO now he will do both but when you do get a pump I'd drop the formula sense youll pump
anyway he can have the pumped milk

Can you find a lactation consult to help you?

You can find a nipple cover at Walmart, I used it cause my baby wouldn't latch, it practically covers your nipple and its in the shape of a bottle nipple plus it protects you from them getting cracked

my nipples were too small for my daughter so I was so lucky to have a nurse that gave me one of these. I just ordered some just in case for my son. This is off the wish app $1 for 2 nipple shields and $1 for shipping.

That's a good deal i look into it because my nipples aren't nearly as big as other moms that i see breastfeeding lol @mommabearto2

@deelovesdash, yeah my nipples have grown twice their original size but they are still small and I'm just positive I will need these.

Definitely. we didn't get a good latch til she was 2 months. She's 10 months and still going strong
