I need some some breastfeeding mamas advice and someone to talk to. π¨π¨π¨π¨Not only am I getting frustrated and upset because she doesn't wanna latch no matter how hard I try but she has been eating 2 ounces every two hours maybe longer but sometimes I only get 1.5 and I have to pump because she don't want the boob!! When I try to latch she puts her mouth on it but then turns her head or just stops and don't care for it!! HELP PLEASE I don't wanna stop breastfeeding but with everything that happened with the delivery and after I'm still very weak and I just wanna cry because I'm so tired and I took it out on my SO last night and I balled my eyes outππ
breastfeeding is real hard in the beginning especially when it comes to latching, a lot of babies don't latch right away it's something that takes time for them and your boobs will hurt but after two weeks it gets better and so much easier. the beginning is rough, just have patience and keep on giving the boob.
try squeezing little milk out n rub it on her lip so she tastes it and latches on. I know its frustrating but try not to get so upset baby can sense it. call hospital to talk to someone for breastfeeding or if you get wic they have breastfeeding ppl to help too. trust me I know how u feel I've had lots of trouble too but after awhile my baby girl now latches on n eats like a piggy lol
Maybe try calling the breastfeeding department at your hospital that u delivered at. Sorry I don't have anything that can help you. But hang in there. You can also try looking online at this site called LeLeche I believe that's how you spell it. It's a breastfeeding site maybe it's something on there that can help you out
