Feeling discouraged about breastfeeding. I was forced to give my baby formula and pumped milk to help her with her jaundice but now all she wants is the bottle. I can have milk dripping from my breasts and she still doesn't want it. I'm so sad because that's the main way I planned to feed her but now it's not an option and I don't know what to do to get her to latch.

@yungbae, thanks I tried that. I even put drops of my milk in it so she would instantly get it and it still didn't work.

Try a nipple shield.

@babyblksher2016, thanks I'm trying. Everything I read said just be patient with her and keep trying but it's hard after multiple refusals. I'll hang in there though.

Keep trying. When you do need to offer a bottle, try a preemie nipple. It makes the milk harder to get out just like the breast. Some babies get lazy after a bottle because it's easier to get the milk
