My child is breast and bottle fed due to the fact that I work but now when I nurse her, she breaks her latch all the time and doesn’t get a good feeding. Any tips?

Is she starting to look around more and be more alert? Maybe she’s getting distracted. Try nursing in a quiet room without any distractions.

Yeah, I always go to a quiet area and even sometimes keep it dark and it doesn’t help. I think she just doesn’t like how much harder she has to work when nursing

@young.katee, yes that’s common. Are you using size 1 nipples for her bottles? How often is she getting a bottle vs. nursing?

Make sure whomever is bottle feeding her is pace feeding.

Honestly, I have no idea what size the nipples are but is that what’s best for babies switching between the two methods? She gets a bottle a lot more than she gets to nurse, I’m wondering if I should maybe just stick to bottle feeding and pumping that way it stays consistent for her?
