It's because you introduced her to the bottle too early... Keep putting her on your nipples and don't give in to the bottle... Expressing a little milk into her lips so she understands

@newmommysoon21, and you are all the way up north lol. I found a video on youtube a long time ago it helped me. when I find it I will send you the link. Does she sleep with you? I found it easier to lay down and nurse at night. I didn't have to get up out the bed lol. some moms are not comfortable but it helped me.

They will fight you lol it takes time and practice. you can pump for a min to pull your nipples our more and then latch too. also try pointing your nipple up then latching. ugh I wish I was there to show you. I was about to give up for months ago. I'm glad I didn't. you can do it mama!

Or you can buy a nipple shield and try that. My son took weeks to latch on right. Start with the bottle and feed her for a few minutes and than try to hook her on the boob. My son would just get so excited and over worked that he wouldn't latch on. Once I got a little in his belly he claimed down and would latch on

Try putting sugar water around your nipple, that's what they had me do in the hospital when I had my daughter..
