Hey ladies my little girl just won’t latch 😖 she suckles a few little sucks then gets fed up, she’s lazy and it’s too much hard work for her. Any tips would be appreciated
Thanks ladies it’s so disappointing but I know all babies are different. She’s developed jaundice as well so we are combine feeding. Expressed boobie followed by formula. She loves the bottle , stubborn little miss xx
Awww hun it will get easier I promise. Try feeding her in just her nappy so she doesn't get too sleepy. Put your nipple to her nose and when she tilts her head back wait for her mouth to be open wide and then like previous mamma said put as much boob in as you can. It's not just nipple, the areola needs to be in there too. Then when she's feeding tickle her cheeks, feet, tummy just to stimulate her when she starts to get a bit lazy.
Might also be worth asking the midwife to send out a lactation consultant to help check your latch etc... I also found watching some videos on you tube 're latch was helpful.
