@tlanes, good luck! I would go to the lactation consultant even if you think you have it figured out

The lactation consultant gave me her number when I worked with her in the hospital so I'll be giving her a call. We actually just had a feeding session and it seemed to be a little better, so here's to hoping! @kaylamcclellan

@tlanes, can you look for an organization close to home or call hospital. It's literally the hardest thing to do and I cried the first few days we were home because she would t latch either.

I try to do that as well.. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.. He gets so fussy and shakes his head back and forth and shoves his hands in his mouth 😔 @kaylamcclellan

I used to tap my nipple at her top lip so she would open her mouth and sandwich my boob and point nipple to roof of her mouth

You're right. I don't even know why I didn't think of that, lol. I think it was easier in the hospital because I had to wake him up to feed cause he was so sleepy. Now he wakes up on his own but it's harder because he gets frantic, so I get stressed and then he latches all wrong, but I want him fed so I push through the pain. @wiccanmommy

try feeding before he gets fussy. as soon a you see mouth movement or starting to stir, change his diaper and place him up to you. if you can catch him before he is frantic it will be easier

I try to. I should also mention that he gets all frantic and fussy when he's hungry so he's flailing all over the place which makes it even harder. 😔 @wiccanmommy

have you tried positioning his nose at your nipple, then he will have to tilt his head back and open wide to get your nipple in.
