Ana hasn't eaten since 10 last night :/ I think she over ate. But she acts like she wants my boobs (tries to suck them through my shirt and gives me every other sign) but when I give her them she wants nothing to do with them and screams til we give her her pacifier.. What should I do?! I might try to pump today and try a bottle bc I'm desperate ... And if that doesn't work I'm gonna give her some formula.. She needs to eat...
the point of the nipple shield is to give baby more to latch onto... your nipple can just be barely in but when baby suckles it will draw the nipple out to her.
@mookie1, it's too long for my nipple. She only sucks on the clear part and my colostrum never came out
@mookie1, her latch isn't good. My nipple doesn't go far enough in her mouth so I'm pumping from now on and using formula until tomorrow's appointment with the doctor to see if she's back up to health and eating enough
You're welcome and at first I thought my daughter wasn't getting anything but they said she should produce a diaper for every day basically during the first few days- week and she was so maybe count her diapers. How is her latch? You can ask to speak to the lactation consultant
@mookie1, thank you! she does all the time but I'm worried cuz she needs to eat. I think I'm worrying over everything bc the nurses at the hospital made all these rules to follow and since Ana isn't cooperating with most of them i get worried
I was told by the consultant that sometimes they give the same cues when they want to lay on you mr chest so try that
@leiibaaaby, oh okay ! I was gonna wait for the nurse to come at 10 and ask her about it to if she doesn't eat still
@octobermamma, I don't know why it didn't work for her then :/
