I know i had the same thing going on i was so mad at myself for not being able to help her latch on, & i did buy the nipple shield today! Worked miracles lol thank god! 😁🙏🏻 @lilmommy93

Parker refused to latch the day that my milk came in and I sat on my bed holding him up to my breast and had a major melt down. at one point I got so angry with myself for not being able to do it that I had my mom take him and I had to leave the room for a minute. when I came back she had a nipple shield for me and we did way better. sometimes you just need a minute of quiet to remind yourself that you're a strong momma and you've got this.

That's great @fannypradoo. Maybe a nipple shield would also help for future "problems". It's only a couple of bucks, won't hurt to get one if u don't have one already

glad the lactation consultant helped! just take it day by day. you're doing a great job already :)

Thank you mommys! Im a first time mommy and it does get upsetting that she cant latch.. Im all about breastfeeding but i just wanted a formula so she could at least feed off something, i saw a lactation consultant today & she really helped out. @leiibaaaby @goodbyelullabye @surpriseme @suddymaya @bri28 @jaaym_

I went to the lactation specialist 6 times and I was so ready to give up by the second week but here I am at 2 months and still breastfeeding her. I do give her formula at times though. It's all your choice, don't let anyone else pressure you if you don't want to do it.

@fannypradoo, please please don't give up! It's only been two days. Both of yall need practice.

see a lactation consultant at the hospital....don't give up

Try hand expression. Get milk and give it to her in a bottle. Similac is a good choice in formula, but it all depends on baby! Breast is best, but do whats best for you and baby!

it gets a lot easier. don't forget the baby needs practice too☺

Keep trying please momma it takes time 😩
