I'm having the hardest time getting my son to latch on and breastfeed. He is a preemie and can't get my boob in his mouth good. So I have been pumping but his appetite has picked up. And when I pump I can't keep up.
@scidg3, @anap1012 thank y'all so much. I'm gone look up video and keep giving him time.
my babies were premie @mommy_to_be.taylor. We used a nipple shield, once we got home it wad use nipple shield and some days they didn't even want to try. we are almost 2 months and just today 2 of them latched on twice with no shield! it gets better! I think their mouth gets bigger, sucking becomes easier and you get more relaxed. Not site how old yours is and how early he or she was but just give it time.
Try using the flipper method. I think that's what it's called. If used to get a deep latch and it works pretty well actually. There's some videos on YouTube that can teach you how :)
@bqueen, I've tried the nipple shield he doesn't really like it and he struggles getting his mouth around it.
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
Breast pump covered by insurance
I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
I can't wait to pack Christians baby bag. sad that I can't start putting things up for his room. cause he doesn't have one :(

Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
also.....I used an extra small shield....most places only sell small. @mommy_to_be.taylor Good Luck!
