Tonight I'm feeling extra disappointed in myself. I have been trying to breastfeed my son and it went rather well at the hospital with some help from the nurses but we have been home since Saturday afternoon and I've only been able to get him to latch good maybe twice. This morning I ended up having to pump because I was so full and very tender. I've had to pump several times today because he is refusing to latch. I have still tried my best to get him to latch every feeding today and it didn't work. He has started pushing away from my breast and screaming no matter the position. Well just now due to endless screaming and very sore breast I warmed up some milk from a previous pumping session and gave him a bottle. It broke my heart to do it and I'm going to continue to try but I'm just not sure breastfeeding is for us. I however will continue to pump so he is still getting my milk as long as I can.

You can also call the hospital back and see if you can visit the lactation specialist. Look on YouTube as well for different techniques. Good luck. And when you pump don't use the highest setting

Also try hand expressing before you latch so your milk is already there until he can get the hang of latching on his own

There's an app called Pacify. It allows you to speak to a LC via webcam. You can show them your latch and they'll help

Don't be sad he is still getting your milk. Just rememeber fed is best. Also you could try calling a lactation specialist. I had to trick my son with the paci to get him to start latching good if you are using one.
