if she doesn't latch why don't you just pump and put it in a bottle.

Pump pump pump! Even if she spits it out. If you don't your supply will go away and then you won't be able to latch at all. My daughter doesn't match at all :/ so all I do is pump :/

It may take a few days, but you can get her to latch again. It just takes a ton of patience and encouraging her along the way. She'll also pick up on your energy if you're tense. You can try expressing some milk before she latches and getting your letdown to start so she doesn't lose patience. It's a process, but 100% possible. In the meantime, pump every 2 to 3 hours to keep your supply up.

Try half breast milk and half formula, then gradually put les and less formula so she can get use it.

Also, I know this sounds horrible but wait til shes really hungry to try to get her to latch. I had to do it with my baby, and it took a few tries but she finally got the hold of it.

@hhmariah, everytime I give her breast milk it seems to upset her tummy she throws up .. went to the doc today told me to keep pumping and just try again at 2 months maybe it's not settling in her tummy

Could also be something your eating thats upsetting her tummy, may be having issues with dairy or just certain foods you have. Or could just be acid reflux. But yeah, try again at 2mo and maybe after eating have her propped up and even have her propped while sleeping to see of that helps.
