Why does my baby hate my right nipple so much 😒 she latches on to my left nipple right away but takes 5-10 mins to latch to my right one!
@mother.of.2, I had to give my baby a bottle a couple days after she was born since she lost so much weight and wasn’t latching good at first it was a dr browns bottle thankfully she didn’t get nipple confusion from that but I should look into getting a bottle that’s shaped like the nipples so I can give my boobs a break sometimes and yes true I can give her a milk bath I forgot about that! I have a little in the freezer for her cereal in the future
@msalohakitty I'm using Lansinoh mOmma bottle and it's shaped like the nipple and helps to keep their lips flanged out to help not forget but mine has nipple preference at time I should say actually and maybe if you want to not give bottle yet, save it for milk bath or something until you need it
@mother.of.2, I’ve just been trying my hardest to get her to take the right nipple first she takes it most of the time but it takes so much longer than it does for her to take my left one and at night when I’m tired and she’s screaming I just give up and put her on the other boob she likes lol I think I’m gonna start pumping it tho but kinda scared to give my baby a bottle since when I have her a pacifier a few days ago she got a bit of nipple confusion
@lunachar62 @msalohakitty so do y'all just pump the other side and feed from the one they like or? Right now I'm trying to stock up and build a stash first and then go strictly to breastfeeding because right now he has nipple confusion and he'll eat for my right but after a while he'll start crying because the letdown slows down and he wants it faster he was in NICU for a week and me being without transportation I wasn't able to see him everyday to breastfeed him so they gave him formula
@lunachar62, lol my right one gets really swollen and hard when I go hours without putting her on that one I guess I’m just gonna have to pump but I’m trying really hard to get her to like it lol idk what to do
@lunachar62, same here my baby screams at my right nipple 😂😢 literally hates it
@mother.of.2, it’s ok since she does eventually drink from the boob she hates but I just wish she latched on faster ya know lol I guess that’s to much to ask 😕
