Tryna get this kid to latch on... He had it in this mouth but isn't sucking.. Grrrr 😩😡

Maybe he's not hungry or doesn't quite understand yet? I used to express just a drop and rub it around the areola so Lucas knew what he was going for. I remember being told to stroke his cheek inward toward his mouth and or too tickle under his chin the same way.

maybe he doesnt get it just yet? they told me to rup the nipple on the top lip until baby opens their mouth and put as much as the areola in the babys mouth. baby is going to get fruatrated until they get used to being latched to your nipples.

@mommy_of_two1994, @myliltadpole1116 I'm hoping it's just that he doesn't understand yet. I don't know maybe he doesn't like the boob? I'm not giving up though. I really want to breastfeed.

They don't like that they have to work for it. This is the first time they've ever had to do anything for anything. Did they tell you to make a u shaped sandwich with your breast? Cupping it at the very base and includetissue under and by the armpit. @bishop0301

Yeah I've tried the sandwich hold. It seems he's more comfortable with the football hold too. I'm hoping we get the hang of it soon! I know he gets just as frustrated as me lol @myliltadpole1116

@bishop0301, you'll get there! That's how we did it too!! Be careful, I think I messed up my wrists by holding him like that by myself without pillows😐
