So this happened ^_^
I didn't breastfeed after labor due to a few complications I had after my csection. Once I was ready to try, Luca latched great.. while at the hospital 😐 came home and he wouldn't latch for me so I once again gave in to formula. I didn't regret it because as long as his tummy was full that's all that I cared about. But then he began to throw up the Similac Advance after every bottle so I began to feel really bad. Thankfully his pediatrician listens to my concerns and switched his formula to sensitive which has helped some but I still always wondered about how i would have done with breastfeeding so I got a pump today and tried it for the first time in almost a month! It's not much but Luca chugged it down and smacked his lips when he was done lol I really hope to be able to produce more someday soon.

you can also try the nipple shield lilly that's great at the hospital and then about 2 weeks after she stopped and when I got there nipple shields and then we did great after that it did take about a week of using it but we'll worth it. just a tip if you want to try to get him to latch again

He also has a tongue tie, do you think the shield will be able to help him?@lillysmommy

Also look into pace feeding, a lot of moms don't know about it and over feed their babies. :)

I feed my son on a schedule :) he's been on the same schedule more or less since birth lol I definitely get a lot of backlash from the older generation for doing it that way but my son tends to spit up so I don't want to over feed him @jasholbert he eats 3oz every 3 hours putting him at the max intake for his weight
