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.

@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.

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?

@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer. My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk outside without this information. Children of color are being targeted and killed too. It’s not just adults. I let my son know we treat everyone equally and with respect. I let him know that we love everyone for their differences. In every aspect. Color, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference we love everyone.

Mommies please help! I hope at least one of you have dealt with this. Rocky has trouble keeping pacifiers in his mouth but I'm 95% sure he wants a pacie. I try to give him his bottle and he sucks a little but then just lets it sit in his mouth and doesn't drink the formula and just lets it pour out the sides. This is after he's already ate all he wants. But when I give him his pacie, he can't keep it in his mouth.
