ladies! nipple confusion help!!!

ladies! nipple confusion help!!!

I'm in the process of building up a milk supply. My daughter is feeding off a bottle now and I'm trying to get her back on the breast! I have a lactation aid doomahicky thingermabobber.. anywho. She'll latch on with it but she won't stay latched. She just gets angry with me.. any mommas have any trips and tricks to get my little love bean back on the boob? I never thought I'd ever sit there begging a tiny human to put my boob in their mouth but here I am! I'm getting frustrated. She's 5 weeks old and very stubborn! I also don't want to be told that it's not gonna happen that I'm gonna have to feed *gasp* formula to her forever.. where there's a will there's a way.

The only thing you can do is stop giving the bottle. The more you give it the more likely it is she will not go back to breast.

It's not so much nipple confusion, it's more that she got use to the fast pace of the bottle. It's much easier to get milk out of a bottle than a breast.

Massage your breast before you feed her. You can also pump or hand express until a let down starts and then latch her on so she gets milk right away and doesn't get impatient.

I'm scared of her starving... ? is there another way I can give her food without starving her cause she seems like she'd rather starve than take my boob which is crazy because I've tasted formula and breast milk and I'd rather the breast milk than the formula!

Babies won't starve themselves, they aren't dumb.

Try to feed her at the earliest hunger sign you see. Don't wait until she's crying. She will be more patient.

If she does get the the crying point of hunger, you can actually give her a bottle to take the edge off and once she's calmed down you can try to latch her on.

When my son is crying too much to see my boob, I have to squirt some milk into his mouth and he will root and then latch on. That's something to try also ?

Maybe try using a nipple shield. It's somewhat like a bottle nipple. ?

My boyfriend is against breastfeeding in public even if I have cover. I told him I wanted to do skin to skin after the babys born and he said no because he didn't want me naked in front of anyone. I said he'd be under my gown. and he said no because my boob can pop out. he also said I'm not allowed to feed my baby if there's a nurse in the room. and I told him they're gonna see my freaking vagina!! who cares about my boobs. it's also not their first time. I'm so annoyed. because if my baby is hungry, I want to feed him when he wants it. I'm gonna have a nursing cover when we go out.
