Right now I'm going back and forth. I try to keep him on my breast for 10-15 minutes but he's having a hard time figuring out how to latch for longer than that so I'm supplementing with formula so he gets the hang of it.

@ab, I'm the awkward one. But he has a tendency to lick the colostrum off me. LMAO So we're trying to break him of that. A bottle does help. He seems to prefer me to the bottle and I have a feeling when the milk is flowing he'll go breastfeeding pro status. He will grimace every time the formula hits his mouth. He's not a fan of the flavor for sure.
@4xmeislove, You know I honestly thought I'd hate breastfeeding but even when it's painful it doesn't bother me at all. I wish I didn't feel so awkward. Part of the problem is I don't know what the heck I'm doing. lmao
oh okay thats good then :) I'm trying to get my supply up lol kiely did much better at latching then her brothers! so its good this time just need more milk to keep up and stay away from formula i hate using it and my kids seem to hate it too haha
That was my issues my nipples are flat and don't seem to harden up I always had to use the shield and pump before but it got way too stressful for me because he just wouldn't latch on so I am pumping just keep at it don't let it stress you out practice makes perfect! He will get the hang of it and if he doesn't that's okay as long as he healthy baby that's all that matters 💙 be proud of yourself your even trying hon! Trust me I been to 3 lactation nurses went nights and days crying breastfeeding is such a challenge! But it's worth it! My last 2 children were formula fed This is my last baby I am really pushing myself this time to keep at it
@4xmeislove, @ab the lactation nurses have been latching him he just can't figure out his tongue. My nipples are a little flat. I've been using shields. Since I've been supplementing his latch is getting stronger. He definitely prefers the colostrum to formula.
just be careful with formula bottles because they can get confused then attached to bottles the more they have them.
I supplement try asking the nurse to speak to a lactation nurse they are amazing and make you feel so good the first week the hardest keep at it your doing an amazing job! And giving him what's most important right now!
Your milk will come in and sweeten up and he will love it!
