So I had my baby girl at 38 weeks 3 days. She is two days old now and I'm trying to breastfeed and…

why are you doing both? babies learn that a bottle is easier, they have to work harder at the breast.. the best advice I can give is to stop the bottle and work on the breast only until she gets the hang of it.

Well she is so small and she isn't getting a lot so the nurse told me to supplement me @wiccanmommy so I'm going to do more breast though I let her latch on and suck for as long as she wants and then if I think she need more i give her a bottle because my acctual milk isn't in

your milk doesn't come in till 3-5 days after you've had your baby. how many wet diapers does she have a day?

Not many at all. @victoriaaaron12

Not many at all. @victoriaaaron12

more than 6?

instead of a bottle use a syringe or cup feed only after breastfeeding. then she won't expect the bottle nipple.

I have a bottle made to go back and forth from breast to bottle it makes it wear she still has to work to get the milk out

@wiccanmommy

@victoriaaaron12,

thier tummys are so small that she really shouldn't need a lot of supplement. .. literally the size of a marble.

Probably a lil less than 6

Ok im try im just worried this my first time and first baby so @wiccanmommu

@wiccanmommy

your better off only offering breast as often as necessary to help build supply. even if that means letting her nurse for 30 min every hour.

So I tried breastfeeding a minute ago she latched on and did perfect this time she didn't eat long cause I did feed her a little bit before but after sucking for awhile she latched on and did good @wiccanmommy

That's great
