having a bumming day that I'm not able to breastfeed my baby. she just doesn't want to latch on. searches for it, sucks once or twice then freaks. we've seen lactation specialist, used nipple shields, tried it all over the past 11 days. but since she was a month early they just think she's not ready. I didn't think it bothered me at all but today it is. she strictly is breast milk bottle fed (No formula) so she's getting my milk but still just wish we were able to latch.
also worried that my milk will decrease and be gone soon if I am just pumping...can that be true, a lactation person told me that.
@rachh40 oh I see 😕 well if you found someone who got it to work i'd be breaking down their door lol. I still think you guys got it in you. keep trying ❤
we've had issues since like day 1 and having inverted nipples doesn't help I guess. the consultants in the hospital were amazing and I had hopes we could get her to latch then the one we saw on Monday just like crushed all my hopes and crushed my hopes to be exclusively breast bottle feeding even. unfortunately in my small town we don't have much to choose from and there is only 1 center to go from abd a couple lactation consultants. @kambam
@rachh40 mines only 5 days 😔 I dont agree with your consultant I would see another tbh. I work with some of the most amazing women and they get my baby latched like a champ. I dont believe yours cant.
that's what I've always heard too. I've been pumping after every feeding trying to get atleast one or two ahead of myself. she goes about 3 hours between feedings...how old is your little one? atleast they are getting our milk still❤ @kambam
lol thank you, you tooo! @kambam
