My son is three weeks old and I have been exclusively pumping because we were having issues with his latching. I try to get him to latch a couple times a day but he gets frustrated and I give him a bottle. because my supply is not enough to keep up with what he eats I supplement with formula. the formula makes him constipated. I am wondering if it is too late to go back to breastfeeding and pumping?? will he be too used to the bottle by now?? please give me any advice. thank you!

@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:))
Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄
Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, to...
My son loves the bottle more than my breast 😫 he gets so fussy when I give him my breast but has no issue with with bottle. As long as his eating I’m okay with it. I’ve been pumping and I hate pumping!!
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up...
I literally have to only give my dad and his gf enough for 1 bottle when I drop him off there every Tuesday because last week they were about to give him 6oz in an hour like are you crazy they said because he was crying, play with him give him attention and he won't cry pick him up and walk around with him. I told him he gets 3 oz at 7pm they ended up not giving him the 3 oz till 7:30 and we got there at 8:30 to pick him up and was feeding him again I lost my mind it pisses me off bc he has a...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
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
