Does anyone have tips for getting baby to open their mouth wide before latching on? My son was latching just fine in the hospital, and now he won't open his mouth wide enough and his lower lip doesn't stick out like it's supposed to. He just wants to latch onto the nipple and I'm in so much pain 😩 & I spent all of my days in the hospital talking to/ working with lactation consultants. I dread feeding him and I really want to enjoy these moments with him.

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.
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...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

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