My son won't really nurse since I started supplementing.. He will for a minute but whips his head around the whole time then pulls off,i think he just knows it is easier to get it from a bottle. Also, I am not producing much.. So with that, any ways to make him latch longer? And what are the most effective ways to increase supply??

I also used the nipple shield, worked for about a week then back to wanting bottle more than boob
My son would shake his head and get pissed even though he knew the nipple was right in his face. Did this for anlonth and lost weight so we started bottle but with exclusively pumping so he still got my milk. If you power pump 10 minutes on 10 off for an hour straight it'll increase your supply. Even if you don't get anything it'll trick your boobs to make more
@bodaciousb6, awesome! Thanks! I had the thought about the nipple shield but wasnt sure. i will have to try!
rubbing his cheek to kick in the rooting reflex. worked like a charm with my baby. rub coconut oil on nipples then try, baby will get the oil and try to get more "oil" when in reality he'll be getting milk. put baby on every two hours. skin to skin. nipple shield so it's kinda like a bottle since his latch is great with a bottle. sing to baby while feeding or talk, keep baby's attention long enough to get substance in his belly and baby will be like "shit, this is nice"
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
@bentleysmomma, Ok awesome! i wasnt able to nurse my twins due to them being preemies in the nicu then getting mastitis amd losing my supply.. i was really excited to nurse my son and have been really bummed I havent been able to exclusively. i started supplementing because he was a 10 and a half pound baby and just was always hungry and wasn't getting full off of me and now my supply had gone down and he just isn't as into it but I wanna fix it if I can before I lose my supply completely!
