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?

Make sure whomever is bottle feeding her is pace feeding.

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

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

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?
