i honestly feel like i failed myself and my son π unfortunately i wasn't able to breastfeed because he was face facing instead of head down in my cervix and every contraction was squeezing his face and when he came out he was all swollen and he had sores all over his face and lip and he was in pain so he didnt wanna latch on .. i feed him formula but i do pump a bottle everyday and feed him that as well so im basically pumping and formula feeding but im just kinda disappointed that latching wasn't successful

Neither of my girls latched on-- don't feel like a failure. It happens to many moms.
okay thanks ! ill see if that works @ainsleighsmumma
no i haven't seen one since we left the hospital i have a wic appointment tomorrow if i ask will i be able to talk to one there? @housfullofgrls
well i tried last night and that was a fail he didn't really know what to do he tried sucking alil but he gave up and started crying i tried multiple times but what is a nipple sheild ? @ainsleighsmumma
Did you see a lactation consultant? Might be better when he's all healed up
Did you try latching once the swelling went down? Or using a nipple shield?
u can always keep tryen mama
