My daughter only latches to my left with or without a nipple shield she barely ever latch to my right but I keep trying and I just pump my right during her feedings

@mommybump2016 @sev1226 @mookie1 thank you ladies!! I appreciate all the advice. I have no trouble getting him latched with a nipple shield on my right side but he screams when I try to latch him to my left 😞and I have no idea why. he also doesn't nurse for very long on either side. but I'll keep trying.

You can try a nursing shield because it's similar to the bottle nipple. Or just keep trying to get him to latch at each feeding

It's going to be tricky to get him off of bottle because the boob flows so much differently. Latch him as much as possible for as long as possible. Meet with a lactation consultant if you can!

It's never too late:)) if your pumping and giving a bottle make sure you pace feed so it's like he's at the breast. Also if your having trouble latching talk to a LC at the hospital or if your on wic they can help or possibly you Doctor. Also there are shields that you can buy ( omg I don't think that's the name my mind just went blank I'm sorry) but you put it over your nipple and it makes it easier for baby and you. Around 3 weeks is a growth spurt so he might want to bf a lot and that is normal! It doesn't mean he's not getting enough milk from you so just hang in there:))
