I've been giving my boob here and there and its like she hates it. she only stays on it for like 6 secs then unlatch then try to latch again . over and over again . how can I get my supply back up quick & fast . I want to give her breast milk & formula

Uh, I mean she's prob not getting enough so she's jerking away out of frustration. When your milk production starts going up she'll stay longer(:

@maddieg4648, thank you & is there a way I can get my baby to stay latched on for a longer period of time . I have to keep latching her every 10 secs. it's so frustrating . when I was strictly breastfeeding she would stay latched till she was full

Go get the herb Fenugreek you can get it at Walmart for like 4 bucks! It's with the vitamins! You need to take about 8 a day! Regularly but you're gonna get engorged again so have a pump handy!

@kit415kittykatt, hey I don't have much experience at all considering I'm a FTM and almost 37 weeks pregnant. But I have seen other moms post about this and some moms on here say that they make an herbal tea called Mother's milk and other types of cookie/bar things that help to promote lactation. I was in Babies R Us last Friday to pick up a few last minute things and I saw in their breastfeeding section they had a whole end cap filled with this type of stuff and I think they increase ur milk supply. I also have seen other moms say to try pumping to increase the supply too. Again I'm a FTM so none of this is personal experience as I have yet to breastfeed bc my little boy isn't here yet, but I figured I would pass on the info that I have seen given to other moms. I hope this helps. If no one else comments maybe u can google the things I suggested and it could give u more info. I hope I was of some help and good luck!!! 😊.
I wanted to do one of these before our breastfeeding journey ended. I have a feeling it’s soon 😔 since her dr has us giving her formula to give her more calories, I’m finding it difficult to give her breastmilk as well. She gets full off of me alone so she doesn’t want the formula if I breastfeed her first. And if I give her formula first, she doesn’t want the breastmilk. I’ve been alternating feedings but that’s just caused my supply to drop. She’s getting chunky, though. That’s all I care about, really.
is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
So I've been drinking a ton of water since I was brought up to my room and I've been pumping every 2 hours but I'm not pumping anything. Feeling really discouraged. The nursery isn't giving babygirl any formula as they have her hooked up to an IV but Im already feeling like a failure :(
update: I need help. I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm failing my daughter. I had such a great milk supply up until about a week ago and I started producing less and less. And now I am lucky to get 3 ounces from both sides. My daughter will start to eat and then pull off and scream and she just screamed so much that she threw up because she is hungry. I've been nursing her all day. I don't want to switch to formula and I'm afraid I might have to. What else can I do to fix my supply.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
