First night being home & still can't get my son to open his mouth wide enough. I was told I'm doing everything right on my end but do have larger breasts so wondering what mommies have bigger ones and what you did to make baby open wide enough cuz im already so sore from trying & him sucking on just the tip of my nipple. please help. I want to make sure hes getting enough colostrum.
I do do that. the consult also showed me. like I said im doing what I should but still struggling to get his mouth open wide enough
compress the breast until he is latched, allowing him to get more in his mouth. there's a link on this, I'll try to find it.
He was checked for tongue tie already so I know its not that but ill still look that up, thank you
You think he could have a lip/tongue tie? My daughter has a slight lip tie which is why she had such a shallow latch. Look up the "flipple technique" on YouTube. It definitely helped me out and we're still breastfeeding 7 months later!
It will happen it takes time sometimes.my son did that and is a pro now!
They told me I almost couldn't go home cuz he wouldn't latch properly but then others said hed get it down soon. I have a fallow up appointment this Saturday for it. they told me to bring him to breast not breast to him so idk. im lost now but apparently im doing it right hes just learning still.. it sucks cuz I want to keep breastfeeding him
