PLEASE HELP!!!! today my little bundle easton is a week and a day old. my baby has a shallow latch and i cant get him to get a deeper latch. ive met with latation atleast 5 times in the hospital and they told me im doing everything correctly...nipples are so sore, cracked and bleeding. I so badly want to breast feed and have been supplementing formula here and there and also pumping. its brings me to tears to thinking about using formula and also brings me to tears that it hurts so badly. i strictly want to BF and dread it at the moment. it should be something you look forward to as bonding with your baby is crucial. I've used nipple creams, breast milk, and pumping more often. can anyone help ease my mind or have tried nipple shields and do they work?! I'm at a loss and don't want to give up..

Have you tried holding your finger on the side of your nipple to push it in more before he latches then slip your finger out? That helped me years ago when my little man had issues. He eventually got it.

I know it hurts right now, and it's up to you how you want to handle it. But I can tell you from experience that eventually your nipples stop being chapped and they toughen up. Believe me! I was there. It took two weeks before things went somewhat smoothly and didn't hurt so much. Don't give up.

Nipple shields saved me. My son wouldn't latch without one. After a week or so he figured it out and I was able to wean him off of it.

Your nipple will get tougher. How do you know his latch isn't deep enough? If you drag your nipple from the tip of his nose to his mouth he will open wide enough to get a good latch. Yes nipple shields do work but you don't want to always use one.

Just sitting in the nursery at 4:47am crying. Since we have been supplementing formula due to her losing weight I have to pump. I hate it. I am about ready to quit breastfeeding. I woke up 4 hours after pumping to my breasts engorged, which is what I wanted 24 hours ago. But now it hurts like someone is stabbing my breasts and nipples. My nipples hurt so bad that every suction makes me want to scream. I am bawling my eyes out. I cried for hours today thinking about not being able to nurse her anymore, but pumping f&$%ing kills me. I even tried to nurse her to relieve some of the pressure but her latch made me jump and I had to pull her off. Pumping makes my breasts hurt SO MUCH WORSE!! They told me at 2 weeks my breasts would be tougher, they told me at 2 weeks the pain would subside, lies. Its like the hospital all over again the non stop pain and tears. I want to quit breastfeeding right now. Happy effing birthday to me.

Question for formula moms

Question for formula moms How much do you spend a month on formula and what brand? I think the thought of spending the money is the biggest deterrent for me to switch. I do think breast milk is best but I also think formula is great since I was a formula baby. I'm just getting exhausted and frustrated with pumping all the time until we can get his tongue tie clipped and hoping that will fix his latching and sucking issues. They're taking forever to get me the referral. Gotta love Tricare.
