So breastfeeding hasn't been going as well as I hoped this time around. For some reason both my babies don't want to latch 😔 I've tried the nipple shield and pumping for a little bit then trying. I've also tried different holds and baby boy just refuses to latch, yet he will take bottles and pacifiers no problem. So I've been pumping and supplementing formula. Not what I wanted but baby is getting fed and still getting breast milk. My husband has been a HUGE help but he is going back to work today and I'm honestly wondering how I'm going to do this without him. I feel a little overwhelmed right now but I know I will figure it out. We had newborn pictures done and the photographer sent me a couple already. I'm in love with this one and plan to get it as a canvas. 😍😍😍
First off, this picture is beautiful!
Please reach out to a lactation consultant. She might have more insight and tips to help your son latch on. But, worse case scenario, if he doesn’t he is till getting that breast milk. So keep pumping! Good luck in handling your two angels while you’re dh is away!
