I really want to breastfeed, but she's not latching on.😕 I kind of feel bad for using formula…

Try a nipped shield? Or pumping?

Have you tried other positions like the football hold or something else ? My daughter had a hard time when j first tried to latch her so we did the football hold and she latched right away and that's how she would nurse until she got a little bigger. You got this mama she's new to this too but your body was meant for this and she has natural instincts too just give it time you got this!

I have. I've tried both. She latches for like a second then lets go. I just really wanna keep trying because my breasts are full for one and two it's something that I want to share with her. And thank you for your words of encouragement!

Hand express. I'm having to do that with my daughter, she has trouble latching too.

But keep trying pinch your nipple down and help her latch sometimes that will help them latch better. It's frustrating but it's worth it to keep trying, its new to them, they need help and practice sometimes.

I feel the same way but I give my baby pumped milk and formula. At least he getting some. Do you have a pump.

Okay @so nsleighsmumma I will do that. And no, WIC is supposed to give me one so I'm waiting on my appointment with them so maybe I can pump and she still gets the milk. @rocd
