sorry if this is tmi but my baby girl is 7 days old I've been attempting to breastfeed but it doesn't seem like she wants to latch on Everytime. I mean she will for a few minutes here and there and the other times she goes right to sleep. anyone else have this problem? or have any suggestions as to helping her latch on??
@showersoverflowers, okay makes me feel a little better lol. and where can I get nipple shields?
No no! its totally normal. just have to keep trying. switch sides after about 5 minutes as well. If she's having more troubles latching (actually latching not just staying awake) try a nipple shield
thanks. I'll try that. I just feel like I'm not doing something right. @showersoverflowers
keep her stimulated to keep her away if she is starting to nod off you play with her feet or hands and keep her up
